Bill > SF2270

This bill amends the existing law regarding public employee organization elections conducted by the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB). The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Changing the voting requirements for elections, such that a bargaining representative will be certified if it receives a majority of the votes cast, rather than a majority of all public employees in the bargaining unit. 2. Requiring the PERB to conduct retention and recertification elections for each bargaining unit every 5 years, with the bargaining representative continuing to represent the employees if a majority of the votes cast are to retain and recertify the representative. 3. Providing that the bill's changes apply to all elections carried out under the relevant section of the law, starting from the effective date of the bill. The bill also includes a directive to the PERB to cancel any elections scheduled or in process that do not comply with the new scheduling requirements, and specifies that the bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
