An act relating to Judiciary Employees Labor Relations Act

H 256 would amend Vermont's Judiciary Employees Labor Relations Act to allow Judiciary supervisors to form unions and negotiate collective bargaining agreements. Currently, supervisors are excluded from the definition of "employee" under the law (Section 1011(8)(C)), but this bill removes that exclusion. The change directly affects supervisors within Vermont's court system who were previously barred from collective bargaining. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2025, after passing committee referral.
