SB5473 establishes procedures for selecting arbitrators in law enforcement grievance arbitrations.

SB5473 amends the law to create a roster of arbitrators for law enforcement grievance arbitrations. The commission must appoint a roster of nine to 18 arbitrators with specific qualifications, including experience in labor relations, mediation, or arbitration. Arbitrators must complete training in cultural competency, racism, implicit bias, and the daily experience of law enforcement personnel. The commission assigns arbitrators to cases in rotation, and parties cannot participate in the selection process.
