SB337 amends Hawaii's collective bargaining law to establish a procedure for resolving impasses in negotiations. If an impasse occurs, the board will first appoint a mediator to assist in a voluntary resolution. If the impasse continues for twenty days, the board will appoint an arbitration panel. Two members of the panel are selected by the parties, and the third, who will chair the panel, is chosen by mutual agreement or, if not agreed upon within thirty days, from a list provided by the American Arbitration Association or the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
