Bill Summary
An Act relating to school employee organizations; prohibiting certain existing organizations from continuing to represent certain employees; requiring a school district board of education to direct certain election to certify the existing organization; directing the board of education to determine how the election shall be conducted; authorizing the board of education to establish a fee schedule to fund the election; providing for decertification of an organization if it fails to receive a sufficient number of votes; providing for continuation of certain terms of certain contract if an organization is decertified; allowing school district employees to certify a new employee organization under certain circumstances; requiring elections to be held during certain time frame; providing for codification; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits certain existing school employee organizations from continuing to represent their employees after December 31, 2021, unless they receive majority support in a secret ballot election conducted by the school district board of education. The board of education must hold these elections between August 1 and December 1 of odd-numbered years to determine if the existing organization retains support. If the organization does not receive majority support, the board will no longer recognize it, and the employees will be unrepresented. However, the terms of any pre-existing contract will continue for the remainder of the contract term, except for provisions involving the organization. The bill also allows the board to establish a fee schedule to fund the elections and sets an effective date of July 1, 2020, with an emergency clause.
