16bargaining unit to which subd. 5s. applies,
has not been settled after a reasonable
17period of negotiation and after mediation by the commission under subd. 3. and other

SB44,813,246 111.70 (4) (cm) 6. am. Upon receipt of a petition to initiate arbitration, the
7commission shall make an investigation, with or without a formal hearing, to
8determine whether arbitration should be commenced. If in determining whether an
9impasse exists the commission finds that the procedures set forth in this paragraph
10have not been complied with and such compliance would tend to result in a
11settlement, it may order such compliance before ordering arbitration. The validity
12of any arbitration award or collective bargaining agreement shall not be affected by
13failure to comply with such procedures. Prior to the close of the investigation each
14party shall submit in writing to the commission its single final offer containing its
15final proposals on all issues in dispute that are subject to interest arbitration under
16this subdivision or under subd. 5s. in collective bargaining units to which subd. 5s.
17applies
. If a party fails to submit a single, ultimate final offer, the commission shall
18close the investigation based on the last written position of the party. The municipal
19employer may not submit a qualified economic offer under subd. 5s. after the close
20of the investigation.
Such final offers may include only mandatory subjects of
21bargaining, except that a permissive subject of bargaining may be included by a
22party if the other party does not object and shall then be treated as a mandatory
23subject. No later than such time, the parties shall also submit to the commission a
24stipulation, in writing, with respect to all matters which are agreed upon for
25inclusion in the new or amended collective bargaining agreement. The commission,

1after receiving a report from its investigator and determining that arbitration should
2be commenced, shall issue an order requiring arbitration and immediately submit
3to the parties a list of 7 arbitrators. Upon receipt of such list, the parties shall
4alternately strike names until a single name is left, who shall be appointed as
5arbitrator. The petitioning party shall notify the commission in writing of the
6identity of the arbitrator selected. Upon receipt of such notice, the commission shall
7formally appoint the arbitrator and submit to him or her the final offers of the
8parties. The final offers shall be considered public documents and shall be available
9from the commission. In lieu of a single arbitrator and upon request of both parties,
10the commission shall appoint a tripartite arbitration panel consisting of one member
11selected by each of the parties and a neutral person designated by the commission
12who shall serve as a chairperson. An arbitration panel has the same powers and
13duties as provided in this section for any other appointed arbitrator, and all
14arbitration decisions by such panel shall be determined by majority vote. In lieu of
15selection of the arbitrator by the parties and upon request of both parties, the
16commission shall establish a procedure for randomly selecting names of arbitrators.
17Under the procedure, the commission shall submit a list of 7 arbitrators to the
18parties. Each party shall strike one name from the list. From the remaining 5
19names, the commission shall randomly appoint an arbitrator. Unless both parties
20to an arbitration proceeding otherwise agree in writing, every individual whose
21name is submitted by the commission for appointment as an arbitrator shall be a
22resident of this state at the time of submission and every individual who is
23designated as an arbitration panel chairperson shall be a resident of this state at the
24time of designation.
