2022 House Joint Resolution O

Impose binding arbitration mandate on all state agencies

Introduced in the House

Feb. 23, 2022

Introduced by Rep. Sarah Anthony (D-68)

To place before voters in the next general election a Constitutional amendment to impose a “binding arbitration” mandate on every state agency, not just the State Police. This would invest binding arbitration panels with the power to impose contract terms between state agencies and government employee unions when a collective bargaining “impasse” is claimed. The legislature could only reduce or reject increases with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate.

Referred to the Committee on Government Operations
