IA SF472

Requires the Employment Appeal Board to issue written notice of intent to conduct a retention and recertification election to both the public employer and bargaining representative before holding the election

Public employers must submit a list of bargaining unit employees to the board within 10 days of receiving the notice; failure to submit this list is unlawful

Board must publish on its website a list of public employers that have received election notices but have not yet had elections conducted, including identification of employers who failed to submit required employee lists

Iowa residents may petition district court for a writ of mandamus to compel non-compliant public employers to provide employee lists within 60 days of the board's publication; courts must award costs and attorney fees to the prevailing party

Takes effect immediately upon enactment and applies to elections for which the notice of intent is issued on or after the effective date
