Introduced·2/27/25
Introduced Text

Streamlines state employee collective bargaining by setting a timeline for salary adjustments and economic benefits.

This bill establishes that salary adjustments and other economic benefits for state employees, submitted to the general court by the governor, will take effect 30 days after submission unless rejected or withdrawn. It also allows funds from a prior appropriated reserve account to fund these incremental costs. This process aims to streamline state employee collective bargaining.
