Introduced
by
To revise the law authorizing the consolidation of services provided by neighboring local governments to eliminate a provision that prohibits the consolidated service from renegotiating the terms of employment of government employees, and requires existing employees to be given all their same benefits, seniority, salary, etc.
Referred to the Committee on Intergovernmental, Urban, and Regional Affairs
Substitute offered
by
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that still requires existing employees to be given all their same benefits, seniority, salary, etc., but also inserts language that nothing in the statute would require the administrative entity created under an intergovernment consolidated service agreement to pay to employees the highest wages and benefits previously paid to any of the employees, or to their preexisting union bargaining units.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 105 to 0 (details)
To revise the law authorizing the consolidation of services provided by neighboring local governments to establish that the administrative entity created under an intergovernment consolidated service agreement would not be required to pay to employees the highest wages and benefits previously paid to any of the employees, or to their preexisting union bargaining units. This language is inserted into the current law, but existing language requiring that existing employees be given all their same benefits, seniority, salary, etc. is not removed.
Referred to the Committee on Local, Urban, and State Affairs
Reported without amendment

Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that does not include the seemingly contradictory provisions in the House-passed version, which would require local government to give existing employees all their same benefits, seniority, salary, etc., but also states that "nothing in the statute" would require this.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Substitute offered
