CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada lawmakers have approved a wide-ranging collective bargaining bill supported by business groups and unions.
Assembly members voted unanimously to approve SB241 on Thursday night. The measure already passed the Senate and goes to Gov. Brian Sandoval for approval.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Michael Roberson sponsored the bill and said he wanted to introduce more accountability for public employee unions. It would exclude school administrators with a $120,000 a year salary from joining an employee union.
It would require school administrators in unions who aren't principals to re-apply for their jobs every five years, and make it easier to remove school principals during their first three years of employment.
The bill passed out of the Senate on a 15-4 vote in April
