Bill Summary

Providing collective bargaining rights to certain part-time faculty at certain State institutions of higher education; establishing a separate collective bargaining unit for part-time faculty; and prohibiting certain bargaining units from electing to engage in consolidated collective bargaining.

AI Summary

This bill establishes collective bargaining rights for part-time faculty at certain higher education institutions in Maryland, specifically those working at University System of Maryland institutions, Morgan State University, and St. Mary's College of Maryland. The bill defines "part-time faculty" as nontenure track, temporary, contingent, or contractual adjunct employees who teach more than one class per semester, excluding certain categories like student workers, officers, and faculty teaching very short-term, pre-designed courses. The legislation creates separate collective bargaining units for full-time faculty and part-time faculty, allowing these groups to negotiate wages, hours, and other employment terms. Importantly, the bill specifies that the part-time faculty bargaining unit cannot engage in consolidated collective bargaining, meaning they must negotiate separately from other employee groups. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2026, providing a clear timeline for implementation of these new collective bargaining provisions for part-time faculty at these Maryland higher education institutions.
