AI Summary

This bill requires employers of unionized public school teachers, municipal employees, and state employees to provide their respective unions with a comprehensive list of employees in their bargaining unit every 120 days. The list must include detailed personal and demographic information such as employee ID number, first and last name, work location, job title, date of hire, date of birth, sex, race/ethnicity, contact information (including home and work addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers), and whether the employee has authorized dues deduction. The list must be provided as an electronic spreadsheet in alphabetical order, and both the employer and the employee organization are required to keep this information confidential and exempt from public records access. This requirement applies to three different types of public sector employees: school teachers, municipal workers, and state employees, and allows for more frequent list updates if both the employer and employee organization mutually agree. The bill aims to provide unions with up-to-date information about their members and potential members, which can help with communication, representation, and organizational management.
