Committee hears bill to reorganize Public Employees Collective Bargaining Act
Senate Labor & Commerce Committee staff summarized Senate Bill 5435, which proposes to reorganize the Public Employees Collective Bargaining Act (PECPA) by topic, add subchapter headings, and repeal provisions that contain only headings or expired effective dates. Staff and sponsor said the bill makes no substantive changes to existing legal rights but improves readability and navigability of the statute.

Senator Bill Ramos, prime sponsor, said the bill's purpose is to reorganize and reformat statutory text so that staff, legislators and the public can more easily read and apply the law. No witnesses testified on the bill in committee.

Staff said a fiscal note shows no fiscal impact. The committee had no further questions and closed testimony on the bill; no vote was recorded in the hearing.
