HB 2896 - DIGEST

Declares that, currently, state employees are prohibited from collectively bargaining any aspect of the state pension programs provided by the state for its employees. The intent of this legislation is to maintain the state's pension programs, benefits, and systems as items not subject to collective bargaining between the state and the representatives of its various employee units, but to expressly allow negotiation for collectively bargained employee paid supplemental pension programs provided by nonstate entities.
