HB 1424 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Cities and towns; unfair labor practice; Public Employees Relations Board; arbitrator selection; fees and expenses; effective date.

HB 1424 establishes a new arbitration process for resolving unfair labor practice claims between cities, towns (as employers) and public employee bargaining agents. The bill outlines a timeline for notifying the other party of an alleged practice and details a specific method for selecting a three-person arbitration board. If the initially chosen arbitrators cannot agree on a third, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service will provide a list for selection. Additionally, the bill specifies that each party will pay for their own selected arbitrator, while the fees for the third, neutral arbitrator will be shared equally.
