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, if available), contact information (including home address, mailing address, work email address, personal email address, and home and personal cellular telephone numbers, if available), and whether the employee has authorized dues deduction.

The bill stipulates that the employee list shall be kept confidential by both the employer and the employee organization and shall be exempt from copying and inspection under the public records law. The act will take effect upon passage.
