Public Employment Relations Board: powers and duties.

Summary

The bill amends the Government Code to give the Public Employment Relations Board explicit authority to collect, analyze, and share data on how state‑wide net‑zero carbon emission goals affect public‑sector workers. It also requires the board to report its findings to the Legislature each year. The change expands the board’s research role without adding new funding or enforcement powers.
