Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Funds to run new bargaining system

Effective July 1, 2025, the state gives $144,474 in FY 2025–26 and $189,623 in FY 2026–27 to Human Resource Management. It also gives $142,566 in FY 2025–26 and $183,920 in FY 2026–27 to the Governor’s Office. The money pays for staff, travel, operations, equipment, and IT to carry out this law. Unspent funds cannot be committed after June 30 each year and must be returned by Sep 18, 2026 and Sep 17, 2027.

State budget must show union contract costs

Beginning Oct 1, 2025, the Governor includes agreed union contract amounts in the two‑year proposed budget when practicable. If that is not practicable, the Governor sends a same‑day report to the Legislature explaining why. This covers only amounts actually agreed to in collective bargaining.

Earlier state revenue forecast each cycle

Beginning Oct 1, 2025, the Economic Forum gives its written economic outlook and General Fund revenue estimate by Nov 15 of each even‑numbered year. The old due date was Dec 3. This earlier forecast helps budget planning.

New deadlines for state worker bargaining

Starting Oct 1, 2025, talks must start by April 1 of each even‑numbered year. Before talks, the parties pick a mediator and an arbitrator and try to reserve dates. For new units, bargaining starts within 60 days after a representative is named. A mediator can be requested after 6 meetings or by Sept 5 for existing contracts; or after 8 meetings or 90 days for first contracts. If mediation fails, arbitration starts by Sept 15 and the decision is due by Dec 5. The parties can no longer agree to push the decision later.
