An act relating to the State Employees Labor Relations Act

H 290 amends Vermont's State Employees Labor Relations Act to include Assistant Attorneys General as state employees eligible for collective bargaining. Currently, these employees are excluded from the definition of "State employee" under the law, but the bill would remove that exclusion. This change would allow Assistant Attorneys General to form unions and negotiate contracts with the state regarding workplace conditions, pay, and benefits. The law is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2025.
