Relating to: ratification of the agreement negotiated between the State of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State Building Trades Negotiating Committee, for the 2024-25 fiscal year, covering employees in the building trades crafts collective bargaining unit, and authorizing an expenditure of funds. (FE)

This bill ratifies a negotiated agreement between the State of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State Building Trades Negotiating Committee for the 2024-25 fiscal year, covering state employees in building trades crafts (like carpenters and electricians). It authorizes the use of existing state funds - specifically from appropriations under Section 20.865 - to implement the agreed-upon pay and working conditions for these workers. The agreement must be filed with the Secretary of State, and only the official certified copy is binding under this bill. As a procedural ratification, it does not create new policy but formalizes an existing negotiated contract.
