An Act amending the act of July 23, 1970 (P.L.563, No.195), known as the Public Employe Relations Act, in scope of bargaining, further providing for proper subjects of collective bargaining.

HB 1879 amends Pennsylvania's Public Employe Relations Act to clarify that public employers cannot negotiate over certain personal employee data as part of collective bargaining. The bill specifically prohibits bargaining about Social Security numbers, driver's license details, bank information, health data, home addresses, phone numbers, and personal email addresses - except where already covered by existing collective bargaining agreements. This directly affects public sector unions and employers across Pennsylvania, including state and local government workers and employees of nonprofit organizations covered under the Act. The change takes immediate effect upon passage, restricting the scope of topics subject to negotiation.
