BILL NUMBER:S5391
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to providing for binding arbitration in negotiations involving all members of the collective negotiating units designated as security services or security supervisors
Purpose
To provide binding arbitration to all members of the Security Services or Security Supervisors
Summary of specific provisions
Section I of the bill amends § 209(2) of the Civil. Service Law to include within its provisions all titles within the Security Services bargaining unit or the Security Supervisors bargaining unit. Section 2 of the bill amends the opening paragraph of § 209(4) of the Civil. Service Law in the same manner. Section 3 of the bill amends § 209(4) (f) of the Civil Service Law to limit application of binding arbitration with respect to compensatory issues. Section 4 of the bill provides an immediate effective date.
Existing law
Currently, binding arbitration and collective negotiations are available only to correctional officer members of these bargaining units.
Justification
bargaining units have statutorily provided peace officer status. As such, almost all members of : Binding arbitration with respect to compensatory issues for members of the Security Services and Security Supervisors units passed the Legislature and became law during the 2001 Legislative Session (See Chapter 586 of the Laws of 2001 ). During the 2002 Legislative Session, however, through the enactment of Chapter 220 of the Laws of 2002, binding arbitration was limited to members of the Security Services and Security Supervisors units who are State correctional officers.
When Chapter 586 of the Laws of 2001 passed the Legislature, it was the clear intent of the legislative members from both Houses to provide binding arbitration to all titles within these bargaining units.
Enactment of this bill into law will ensure that the original legislative intent with respect to Chapter 586 of the Laws of 200 I is carried out. Moreover, as a result of recent legislative enactments, the vast majority of the members of these bargaining units are defined and recognized as law enforcement officers.
