Bill > HB200

This bill modifies existing laws related to public employee collective bargaining, primarily by restricting the scope of negotiations for most public employees to wages only, while allowing firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical technicians to negotiate on wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment. It also introduces a cap on wage increases for non-emergency personnel, limiting them to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Anchorage. The bill clarifies that collective bargaining agreements must include a grievance procedure with binding arbitration as the final step for firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical technicians, and it also makes changes to provisions regarding leave donations and administrative leave for organ donors, and clarifies exceptions for certain employees covered by collective bargaining agreements from state personnel laws.
