The bill amends Section 28-9.2-17 of the General Laws in Chapter 28-9.2, which pertains to "Municipal Police Arbitration." The key change is the insertion of language that stipulates all contractual provisions in a collective bargaining agreement shall continue until a successor agreement has been reached between the parties or an interest arbitration award has been rendered. This replaces the previous requirement that allowed either the bargaining agent or the corporate authority to propose changes within a specified thirty-day period. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
