Introduced
by
To ban government employee union contracts that pay employees who are union officials for time they spend on the job conducting union business (which they call "release time"). Among other government employers, many public school districts give local union officials full teacher salary and benefits but do not require them to teach or perform any other educational function.
Referred to the Committee on Oversight, Reform, and Ethics
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-2) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that revises details but does not change the substance as previously described.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To tie-bar the bill to Senate Joint Resolution I or the identical House Joint Resolution S, meaning this bill cannot become law unless those constitutional amendment proposals are placed on the ballot and approved by a vote of the people. Those amendments would declare collective bargaining to be a right for “every person,” including government employees. Under current law (but not under the constitution), public schools and local governments are required to bargain with government employee unions to determine the pay and benefits of their employees. Under the proposed amendment, this law could not be repealed, and the mandate would be extended to private sector employers as well.
The amendment failed by voice vote
