AN ACT relating to collective bargaining agreements and declaring an emergency.

This bill would prevent local governments and school boards in Kentucky from entering into new collective bargaining agreements, which are contracts negotiated between employers and worker unions covering pay, hours, and working conditions. Agreements already in place would be protected, but no new ones could be created going forward. It is designated as an emergency measure, meaning it would take effect immediately if signed into law. Who it may affect: local government employees, public school teachers, firefighters, police officers, emergency medical workers, and sheriffs' department employees who are currently covered by or seeking collective bargaining agreements.
