Modifies provisions relating to public labor organizations

Summary

The bill requires a public body and the exclusive labor representative to begin bargaining within 30 days of designation and to move to mediation after 180 days without an agreement. If mediation fails after 90 days, the dispute goes to interest arbitration, and either side may also trigger arbitration by declaring an impasse. It also bars unilateral changes to wages, benefits, or conditions and creates a process for addressing bad‑faith bargaining.
