A bill for an act relating to arbitrator awards concerning base wages in public employee collective bargaining and including effective date and applicability provisions.

Summary

The bill amends Iowa law so that, in arbitration for public‑employee collective bargaining units with less than 30% public‑safety members, the arbitrator’s award for a base‑wage increase may be up to 5% in a year, instead of the current 3% cap. The change takes effect immediately and applies to any collective‑bargaining process under Chapter 20 that begins on or after enactment. It expands the wage‑increase ceiling available to unions in most public‑sector negotiations.
