An Act clarifying constitutional officer employers for collective bargaining purposes

This bill clarifies that the state secretary, state treasurer, state auditor, and attorney general are considered employers for their respective staff under Massachusetts collective bargaining laws. By amending Chapter 150E of the General Laws, the legislation explicitly designates these constitutional officers as the employers for bargaining purposes, replacing the previous language that grouped them with other state departments. This change ensures that employees working directly under these specific officers are treated as part of their respective offices rather than a broader state entity when negotiating labor agreements.
