The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 26, seeks to amend section 5-278 of the general statutes by repealing the provision that allows collective bargaining agreements and arbitration agreements to take precedence over conflicting state laws, public or special acts, or agency regulations. The new legal language requires that collective bargaining agreements and arbitration agreements comply with state law, thereby ensuring that no agreement can override existing legal statutes. The intent of this legislation is to clarify the relationship between collective bargaining agreements and state law, reinforcing the principle that all agreements must adhere to the established legal framework. By eliminating the provision that previously allowed for conflicts, the bill aims to promote consistency and compliance within the legal system regarding labor agreements.
