13	13	employee organization recognized by the school district
14	14	certain information relating to each employee of the
15	15	bargaining unit represented by the employee organization;
16	16	requiring collective bargaining between the Executive
17	17	Department of State Government and classified employees to

20	20	Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
21	21	Existing law requires each employee organization recognized by a local
22	22	government employer, including, without limitation, a school district, in this State
23	23	to file a report with the Government Employee-Management Relations Board each
24	24	year containing certain information, including, without limitation, the total number
25	25	of persons in each bargaining unit represented by the employee organization. (NRS
26	26	288.165) Section 1 of this bill requires, with certain exception, that each school
27	27	district provide each employee organization recognized by the school district the
28	28	name, address, electronic mail address, telephone number, work contact
29	29	information and work location of each employee in the bargaining unit represented
30	30	by the employee organization at least on a semiannual basis, unless the school
31	31	district and an employee organization recognized by the school district agree
32	32	otherwise. Section 1 further provides that if a school district employee notifies his
33	33	or her employer in writing that he or she does not want the employer to provide his
34	34	or her information to the employee organization, the school district must not
35	35	provide the information to the employee organization but must still provide the
36	36	information to the Government Employee-Management Relations Board when
37	37	requested by order of the Board. Section 1 also provides that information about any
38	38	school district employee provided to an employee organization or the Board is
39	39	confidential and is not a public record. Section 3 of this bill makes a conforming
40	40	change relating to making such information confidential and not a public record.
41	41	Existing law sets forth the requirements for collective bargaining between the
42	42	Executive Department of State Government and employee organizations that
43	43	represent classified employees, including the subjects of mandatory bargaining.
44	44	(NRS 288.500) Section 2.5 of this bill additionally requires such collective
45	45	bargaining to include matters relating to parking and transportation.
46	46	Section 2 of this bill makes a conforming change to indicate the proper
47	47	placement of section 1 in the Nevada Revised Statutes.
