AN ACT CONCERNING TIME FRAMES FOR BINDING ARBITRATION.

SB 360 requires binding arbitration cases in Connecticut to conclude within six months of starting, aiming to reduce delays. It allows a three-month extension only if both parties agree in writing. This bill directly affects individuals and organizations involved in binding arbitration, such as employers and employees in labor disputes. The key change is setting a strict timeline with limited flexibility for extensions. The bill amends Section 7-437c of Connecticut's general statutes to establish these time frames.
