Concerning collective bargaining for employees not covered by the national labor relations act.

Added a new category (v) to include individuals employed by employers not under federal labor relations jurisdiction.

Removed the previous clause (iv) that excluded state employees and political subdivision employees from the definition.

Reordered the list of employee categories and renumbered items to accommodate the new inclusion.

Added a condition that the state law applies only to entities that had been subject to federal labor law regulation, narrowing the bill's reach.

Removed the specific exclusion for the 'railway labor act' from the list of federal laws that preempt this state legislation.

Updated the reading date of the bill from January 14, 2026, to February 3, 2026.

Changed the bill type designation from 'House Bill' to 'Substitute House Bill' and updated the sponsor attribution format.

Clarified that the state commission applies Washington court jurisprudence and has jurisdiction specifically over entities previously covered by federal law.

Adjusted the introductory text to refer only to 'federal labor laws' instead of including 'state labor laws' in the preamble.
