MN HF1891

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 3.855, subdivision 2, to require affirmative commission approval before interim implementation of state employee collective bargaining agreements when the legislature is not in session.

Removes the current provision that failure to disapprove an agreement within 30 days constitutes automatic approval, replacing it with a requirement for explicit affirmative approval by the commission.

Requires the commission to submit approved agreements, arbitration awards, compensation plans, and salaries to the legislature for ratification at a special session or the next regular legislative session.

Maintains that wages and economic fringe benefit increases paid under interim approval are not affected if rejected, but must cease upon rejection or adjournment of the legislature without action.

Prevents state employees from striking while interim approval is in effect and takes effect the day following final enactment.
