A proposal for the municipal employer to pay any increase in the total fringe benefits costs for municipal employes in the collective bargaining unit for each 12-month period covered by the proposed collective bargaining agreement up to at least 1.7% of the total compensation and fringe benefit costs for those municipal employes in the preceding 12-month period.

AB133-SSA1-SA1,247,16 d. A proposal to maintain all conditions of employment as such conditions existed on the 90th day prior to the expiration of the previous collective bargaining agreement between the parties, or the 90th day prior to commencement of negotiations if there is no previous collective bargaining agreement between the parties.

AB133-SSA1-SA1,247,21 e. A proposal to maintain any provision relating to a subject of collective bargaining on which the municipal employer was not required to bargain that existed in the previous collective bargaining agreement between the parties or that existed on the 90th day prior to the expiration of the previous collective bargaining agreement between the parties.

AB133-SSA1-SA1, s. 2035n Section 2035n. 111.70 (1) (nd) of the statutes is created to read:

AB133-SSA1-SA1,248,3 111.70 (1) (nd) "Qualified economic offer issues" means salaries, extra-duty pay, health insurance, major medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, vision insurance, long-term care insurance, worker's compensation and unemployment insurance, federal old-age, survivors, disability and health insurance under Titles II and XVIII of the federal Social Security Act, retirement contributions and supplemental retirement benefits.

AB133-SSA1-SA1, s. 2035p Section 2035p. 111.70 (4) (cm) 5s. of the statutes is renumbered 111.70 (4) (cm) 5s. a. and amended to read:

AB133-SSA1-SA1,249,25 111.70 (4) (cm) 5s. a. In a collective bargaining unit consisting of school district professional employes, the municipal employer or the labor organization may petition the commission to determine whether the municipal employer has submitted a qualified economic offer. The commission shall appoint an investigator for that purpose. If the investigator, using the methodology prescribed under subd. 8t., finds that the municipal employer has submitted a qualified economic offer, the investigator shall determine whether a deadlock exists between the parties with respect to all economic issues. If the municipal employer submits a qualified economic offer applicable to any period beginning on or after July 1, 1993 1999, no qualified economic offer issues are subject to interest arbitration under subd. 6. for that period. In such a collective bargaining unit, economic issues concerning the wages, hours or conditions of employment of the school district professional employes in the unit for any period prior to July 1, 1993, are subject to interest arbitration under subd. 6. for that period. In such a collective bargaining unit, noneconomic issues other than qualified economic offer issues applicable to any period on or after July 1, 1993 1999, are subject to interest arbitration after the parties have reached agreement and stipulate to agreement on all qualified economic offer issues concerning the wages, hours or conditions of employment of affecting the school district professional employes in the unit for that period. In such a collective bargaining unit, if the commission's investigator finds that the municipal employer has submitted a qualified economic offer and that a deadlock exists between the parties with respect to all economic issues, the municipal employer may implement the qualified economic offer. On the 90th day prior to expiration of the period included within the qualified economic offer, if no agreement exists on that day, the parties are deemed to have stipulated to the inclusion in a new or revised collective bargaining agreement of all provisions of any predecessor collective bargaining agreement concerning qualified economic offer issues, or of all provisions of any existing collective bargaining agreement concerning qualified economic offer issues if the parties have reopened negotiations under an existing agreement, as modified by the terms of the qualified economic offer and as otherwise modified by the parties. In such a collective bargaining unit, on and after that 90th day, a municipal employer that refuses to bargain collectively with respect to the terms of that stipulation, applicable to the 90-day period prior to expiration of the period included within the qualified economic offer, does not violate sub. (3) (a) 4. Any such unilateral implementation after August 11, 1993 June 30, 1999, or the effective date of this subd. 5s. a., whichever is later, during the 90-day period prior to expiration of the period included within a qualified economic offer, operates as a full, final and complete settlement of all qualified economic offer issues between the parties for the period included within the qualified economic offer. The failure of a labor organization to recognize the validity of such a lawful qualified economic offer does not affect the obligation of the municipal employer to submit qualified economic offer issues to arbitration under subd. 6. If the investigator determines that the municipal employer has not submitted a qualified economic offer, either the municipal employer or the labor organization may petition for arbitration under subd. 6. to resolve any dispute relating to qualified economic offer issues.
