                                  C 110 L 88

BYRepresentatives R. King,  Patrick, Walker, Wang, Sayan, Cole and Jones

Changing references to employee classes for collective bargaining purposes.

House Committe on Commerce & Labor

Senate Committee on Economic Development & Labor

SYNOPSIS AS ENACTED

BACKGROUND:

House Bill 498, enacted in 1987, was partially vetoed by the governor.  The veto included changes in the definition of uniformed personnel.  As a result of the veto a reference to the definition section in the uniformed personnel arbitration law is ambiguous.  In addition, the numbering of the definition subsections was changed in 1987, which resulted in incorrect references to definitions.

SUMMARY:

References to the definition of "uniformed personnel" for the purpose of uniformed personnel interest arbitration are corrected to reflect the 1987 renumbering of the definition sections.  An ambiguous reference in the interest arbitration panel's authority is clarified by specifying that the reference is to the advanced life support technicians.
