Modifies provisions relating to public labor organizations

Summary

The bill adds a new section to Missouri law that obligates public bodies and the exclusive bargaining representative of their employees to start negotiations within 30 days and to bargain in good faith. It creates a step‑by‑step timeline that moves a dispute to mediation after 180 days, to arbitration after mediation, and provides a process for handling impasses and bad‑faith bargaining. The goal is to make public‑sector labor negotiations clearer and faster.
