Sponsor: Representative Dunn, LD 13
Transmitted to the Governor
Overview
Continues the Agricultural Employment Relations Board for eight years.
History
Agricultural Employment Relations Board (AERB)
The AERB was re-established in 1993 to provide a means to collectively bargain for agricultural employers, labor organizations and agriculture employees. It is comprised of seven members and two alternates appointed by the Governor:
1) Two representatives of agricultural employees;
2) Two representatives of organized agricultural labor; and
3) Three public members (A.R.S. §§ 23-1381 and 23-1386).
Sunset Review Process
Established by Laws 1978, Chapter 210, the Sunset Review process provides a system for the Legislature to evaluate an agency to determine if the merits of the agency justify its continuation, modifications or termination. During the Sunset Review process, an agency is reviewed by Legislative Committees of Reference (COR). Each COR is required to hold a public hearing to discuss the sunset review and receive testimony from agency officials and the public (A.R.S. § 41-2954)
AERB terminates on July 1, 2021 (A.R.S. § 41-3021.03). On January 12, 2021, the Senate Natural Resources, Energy and Water COR and House Land, Agriculture and Rural Affairs COR held a public hearing and recommended that the AERB be continued until July 1, 2029 (COR Final Report).
Provisions
1. Repeals AERB on January 1, 2030. (Sec. 1)
2. Continues, retroactive to July 1, 2021, AERB until July 1, 2029. (Sec. 2, 4)
3. Contains a purpose statement related to the continuation of AERB. (Sec. 3)
