HB 1057 passed the House by a vote of 51 – 46. It creates collective bargaining rights for executive branch employees and generally rolls back Gov. Daniels’ decision to eliminate collective bargaining rights of those employees. (Under Governors Bayh, O’Bannon, and Kernan, they were allowed collective bargaining rights by executive order.)
I imagine this doesn’t stand a chance in the Senate.
Jason says
Even if the Senate passed it, wouldn’t that require Gov. Daniels to sign an order that limits his power?
Doug says
It would, but veto overrides just require a simple majority a second time. The Senate passage would be the hardest thing.
