Bill Summary

This bill proposes to allow Assistant Attorneys General to organize and bargain collectively.

AI Summary

This bill amends the State Employees Labor Relations Act to include Assistant Attorneys General within the definition of "State employee" for the purposes of collective bargaining and labor organization. Specifically, the bill modifies the existing definition of state employees in 3 V.S.A. § 902 to explicitly add Assistant Attorneys General to the list of employees who can organize and bargain collectively. Previously, these legal professionals were excluded from this classification, but the bill removes that exclusion, allowing them to form labor unions and negotiate workplace terms and conditions. The change is part of a broader effort to expand labor rights for state employees, and the bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving state agencies and the Assistant Attorneys General time to prepare for the new labor relations framework.
