Bill Summary

AN ACT Relating to requiring public employers under chapter 41.80 2 RCW to provide employee information to exclusive bargaining 3 representatives; and amending RCW 41.80.075. 4

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to require public employers covered by chapter 41.80 RCW, which governs labor relations for state employees, to provide employee information to their exclusive bargaining representatives, meaning the union or organization that has been officially recognized to represent a group of employees in negotiations. The bill clarifies that a specific existing law, RCW 41.56.065, applies to these employers, and it removes a previous exclusion for certain universities. Importantly, it includes a provision that temporarily exempts employers from liability if they are unable to provide the required employee information due to limitations in their current technological systems, specifically until the "one Washington enterprise resource management project human resources subproject (phase 2)" is fully implemented.
