Summary

The legislation amends the Responsible Collective Negotiations Act to delete language that exempted state colleges, county colleges, Rutgers, NJIT and other public universities from certain bargaining provisions. Those institutions will now be subject to the same rules on negotiation topics, grievance handling, confidentiality and employee‑data sharing as other New Jersey public employers. The change aims to create uniform treatment across the public sector.
