Bill > HB388

This bill, concerning collective bargaining for Baltimore County Public Library employees, proposes to redefine "management employee" and "supervisory employee" within the relevant education law, and to establish a framework for two distinct bargaining units: one for non-supervisory employees and another for supervisory employees. The bill clarifies that employees who can recommend actions related to hiring, firing, or directing other employees, and who exercise independent judgment, may be considered "management employees" rather than "supervisory employees." It also specifies that existing bargaining units and agreements in place before June 30, 2026, will not be affected by these changes, and the new provisions will take effect on July 1, 2026.
