The proposed bill aims to establish labor relations policies specifically for employees of the Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS). It amends Chapter 150E of the General Laws by clarifying that the term "employer" includes the CPCS or its designee for its employees. Additionally, it modifies Section 7 to include the CPCS alongside the state lottery commission in the context of labor relations, ensuring that CPCS is recognized as a public employer under the law.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that once a collective bargaining agreement is reached, the CPCS must request the necessary funding for the agreement from the Governor. This legislation is designed to enhance the rights of CPCS employees to engage in collective bargaining and ensure that their agreements are adequately funded by the state.
