Revises provisions governing collective bargaining for certain public employees. (BDR 23-700)

AB 172 requires school districts to provide unions representing public employees with the contact details (name, address, email, phone, work location) of all employees in their bargaining units twice yearly (January 1 and July 1), unless an employee opts out in writing. If an employee opts out, the school district must not share their information with the union but must still provide it to the Government Employee-Management Relations Board upon request. The bill also adds parking and transportation issues to mandatory topics for collective bargaining between state government and classified employees. All shared employee information is kept confidential and excluded from public records.
