SB337 modifies the collective bargaining process for public employers in Hawaii. It specifies that an arbitration panel must issue a decision within fifteen days after transmitting a preliminary draft. The panel is composed of two members selected by the parties and a neutral third member chosen by mutual agreement. If the parties cannot agree on the third member within thirty days, the board selects from a list provided by the American Arbitration Association or the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
