HB 1433 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Community Colleges - Collective Bargaining - Definition of Supervisory Employee

HB 1433 defines "supervisory employee" for collective bargaining purposes in Maryland community colleges. It specifies that a supervisory employee must have authority to hire, discipline, direct over 50% of work hours, or resolve complaints, while excluding department heads and faculty below assistant dean level. This definition determines which staff (non-supervisory employees) can participate in union negotiations. The bill amends Maryland’s Education Code and takes effect July 1, 2026.
