SB45-SSA1-SA1, s. 2035p 4Section 2035p. 111.70 (4) (cm) 5s. of the statutes is renumbered 111.70 (4) (cm)
55s. a. and amended to read:
SB45-SSA1-SA1,249,256 111.70 (4) (cm) 5s. a. In a collective bargaining unit consisting of school district
7professional employes, the municipal employer or the labor organization may
8petition the commission to determine whether the municipal employer has
9submitted a qualified economic offer. The commission shall appoint an investigator
10for that purpose. If the investigator, using the methodology prescribed under subd.
118t.,
finds that the municipal employer has submitted a qualified economic offer, the
12investigator shall determine whether a deadlock exists between the parties with
13respect to all economic issues
. If the municipal employer submits a qualified
14economic offer applicable to any period beginning on or after July 1, 1993 1999, no
15qualified economic offer issues are subject to interest arbitration under subd. 6. for
16that period. In such a collective bargaining unit, economic issues concerning the
17wages, hours or conditions of employment of the school district professional employes
18in the unit for any period prior to July 1, 1993, are subject to interest arbitration
19under subd. 6. for that period.
In such a collective bargaining unit, noneconomic
20issues other than qualified economic offer issues applicable to any period on or after
21July 1, 1993 1999, are subject to interest arbitration after the parties have reached
22agreement and stipulate to agreement on all qualified economic offer issues
23concerning the wages, hours or conditions of employment of affecting the school
24district professional employes in the unit for that period. In such a collective
25bargaining unit, if the commission's investigator finds that the municipal employer

1has submitted a qualified economic offer and that a deadlock exists between the
2parties with respect to all economic issues, the municipal employer may implement
3the qualified economic offer. On the 90th day prior to expiration of the period
4included within the qualified economic offer, if no agreement exists on that day, the
5parties are deemed to have stipulated to the inclusion in a new or revised collective
6bargaining agreement of all provisions of any predecessor collective bargaining
7agreement concerning qualified economic offer issues, or of all provisions of any
8existing collective bargaining agreement concerning qualified economic offer issues
9if the parties have reopened negotiations under an existing agreement, as modified
10by the terms of the qualified economic offer and as otherwise modified by the parties.
11In such a collective bargaining unit, on and after that 90th day, a municipal employer
12that refuses to bargain collectively with respect to the terms of that stipulation,
13applicable to the 90-day period prior to expiration of the period included within the
14qualified economic offer, does not violate sub. (3) (a) 4. Any such unilateral
15implementation after August 11, 1993 June 30, 1999, or the effective date of this
16subd. 5s. a., whichever is later
, during the 90-day period prior to expiration of the
17period included within a qualified economic offer, operates as a full, final and
18complete settlement of all qualified economic offer issues between the parties for the
19period included within the qualified economic offer. The failure of a labor
20organization to recognize the validity of such a lawful qualified economic offer does
21not affect the obligation of the municipal employer to submit qualified economic offer
22issues to arbitration under subd. 6. If the investigator determines that the municipal
23employer has not submitted a qualified economic offer, either the municipal
24employer or the labor organization may petition for arbitration under subd. 6. to
25resolve any dispute relating to qualified economic offer issues.
