HB 2101 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Arbitration Reform for State Employees Act of 2026 - Withdraw and Repeal of Duplicate Proposed Constitutional Amendment

This bill withdraws and repeals specific sections of a previous law that proposed a constitutional amendment regarding collective bargaining for state employees. By removing these sections, the legislation effectively cancels the plan to alter the state constitution on this issue. The bill also amends the remaining part of the original act, which was contingent on the successful passage and voter ratification of the now-withdrawn constitutional proposal. This action is taken to prevent duplicate or conflicting legal measures from remaining in effect.
