This bill amends existing laws regarding the certification of negotiating agents for certified school teachers, municipal employees, and state employees. It requires employers to provide the exclusive bargaining representative organization, as well as any statewide employee organization affiliated with the local organization, with a comprehensive list of all employees in the bargaining unit at least once every 120 days, or more frequently if mutually agreed upon. This list must include each employee's employee ID number, first name, last name, work location/department, job title/classification, date of hire, date of birth, demographic information (including sex and race/ethnicity), contact information (including home address, mailing address, work email address, personal email address, and home and personal cellular telephone numbers), and whether the employee has authorized dues deduction, to the extent that the employer possesses such information.

The employee list should be provided in alphabetical order by last name and as an electronic spreadsheet with one column for each data point. The bill mandates that the list be kept confidential by both the employer and the employee organization and exempts it from copying and inspection under public records laws.

The act will take effect upon passage.
