Bill > AB356

This bill revises provisions related to collective bargaining agreements in Nevada's state government, making several key changes to the negotiation and budgeting processes. The bill requires the Governor to include, to the extent practicable, any agreed-upon amounts from collective bargaining agreements in the biennial proposed executive budget, and if this is not possible, the Governor must submit a report explaining why. The bill shifts several important deadlines in the collective bargaining process: negotiations must now begin by April 1 of even-numbered years (instead of October 1), parties can request a mediator earlier in the process, and arbitration proceedings must begin by September 15 and conclude with a decision by December 5 of even-numbered years. Additionally, the bill moves the Economic Forum's revenue projection report deadline to November 15 of even-numbered years. The bill also includes appropriations to the Division of Human Resource Management and the Governor's Office to support these changes, with specific funding allocated for personnel, operating costs, and related expenses for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. These modifications aim to streamline and improve the collective bargaining process for state employees by providing more clarity, earlier engagement, and more structured timelines for negotiations.
