Secton 1 [Contract in Effect] provides an exception to the general rule in current law that the terms of a contract between an exclusive representative and a public employer continues during the period after contract expiration and prior to the date when the right to strike matures and for additional time by agreement. This section provides that a contract term does not continue after the contract’s expiration date, and the parties may not agree to extend or honor a contract term beyond the expiration date, if the contract would:
-
Provide a wage or salary increase, including but not limited to, an increase based on cost of living, longevity, education or training, or performance or merit; or
-
Provide an increase in the dollar amount of an employer contribution for insurance benefits above the amount paid under the expired contract.
This section is effective the day following final enactment. For a collective bargaining agreement that expired before the effective date of this section, the requirement of this section applies to limit wages and benefits to the levels and amounts in effect on the effective date of this section.
