A bill for an act relating to employment matters involving public employees including collective bargaining, educator employment matters, and city civil service requirements, and including effective date, applicability, and transition provisions.

SF 263 amends Iowa's public employee collective bargaining laws. It requires negotiations on pay, hours, safety, and other terms (but excludes retirement systems) and mandates written member consent for union dues deductions. The bill imposes a 12-month ban on union representation after decertification due to legal violations like contempt of court. These changes affect public school teachers, city workers, and other state/local government employees covered by union contracts.
