(1) (a) "Collective bargaining" means the performance of the mutual
18obligation of a municipal employer, through its officers and agents, and the
19representative of its municipal employees in a collective bargaining unit, to meet and
20confer at reasonable times, in good faith, with the intention of reaching an
21agreement, or to resolve questions arising under such an agreement, with respect to
22wages, hours and conditions of employment, and with respect to a requirement of the
23municipal employer for a municipal employee to perform law enforcement and fire
24fighting services under s. 61.66, except as provided in sub. (4) (m)
, (n), and (o) and
25s. 40.81 (3) and except that a municipal employer shall not meet and confer with
1respect to any proposal to diminish or abridge the rights guaranteed to municipal
2employees under ch. 164. The duty to bargain, however, does not compel either party
3to agree to a proposal or require the making of a concession. Collective bargaining
4includes the reduction of any agreement reached to a written and signed document.
5The municipal employer shall not be required to bargain on subjects reserved to
6management and direction of the governmental unit except insofar as the manner
7of exercise of such functions affects the wages, hours and conditions of employment
8of the municipal employees in a collective bargaining unit. In creating this
9subchapter the legislature recognizes that the municipal employer must exercise its
10powers and responsibilities to act for the government and good order of the
11jurisdiction which it serves, its commercial benefit and the health, safety and welfare
12of the public to assure orderly operations and functions within its jurisdiction,
13subject to those rights secured to municipal employees by the constitutions of this
14state and of the United States and by this subchapter.
SB44-SSA1,775,316

(4) (n)
Municipal employer-initiated change in health care coverage
17plan provider. Notwithstanding the terms of a collective bargaining agreement, in
18any collective bargaining unit other than a unit consisting of law enforcement or fire
19fighting personnel a municipal employer may unilaterally change its employees'
20health care coverage plan to a health care coverage plan under s. 40.51 (7) or a health
21care coverage plan that is substantially similar to a plan offered under s. 40.51 (7)
22without the consent of any affected employee in the collective bargaining unit. The
23commission shall use the criteria in rules promulgated by the commissioner of
24insurance under s. 601.41 (12) to determine if health care coverage plans are
25substantially similar. Any such unilateral change in health care coverage plan
1provider is not a violation of a collective bargaining agreement or a prohibited
2practice under sub. (3) (a) and, for purposes of a qualified economic offer, satisfies the
3requirement to maintain fringe benefits under sub. (1) (nc).
SB44-SSA1,775,135
111.70
(4) (o)
Prohibited subject of collective bargaining. In collective
6bargaining units other than units consisting of law enforcement or fire fighting
7personnel, a municipal employer is prohibited from bargaining collectively with
8respect to the employer's selection of a health care coverage plan if the municipal
9employer offers to enroll the employees in a health care coverage plan under s. 40.51
10(7) or in a health care coverage plan that is substantially similar to a plan offered
11under s. 40.51 (7). The commission shall use the criteria in rules promulgated by the
12commissioner of insurance under s. 601.41 (12) to determine if health care coverage
13plans are substantially similar.
SB44-SSA1,775,2315
111.71
(1) The commission may adopt reasonable rules relative to the exercise
16of its powers and authority and proper rules to govern its proceedings and to regulate

18provide a transcript of a proceeding to any party to the proceeding for a fee,
19established by rule, by the commission at a uniform rate per page. All transcript fees
20shall be credited to the appropriation account under s. 20.425 (1) (i)
, except that fees
21collected in excess of the uniform rate per page for any transcript produced by a
22reporter who is not employed by the commission shall be credited to the
23appropriation account under s. 20.425 (1) (g).
