Collective Bargaining Deals Now PublicCollective Bargaining Deals Now Public — SB 644 is now Act 15 of 2016. Gov. Wolf signed the bill April 14. It requires the details of collective bargaining agreements of employees under the jurisdiction of the Governor be made public before their finalization.

We suspect the average citizen of the state always thought that was the case. You would have been wrong but now it is.

SB 644 was championed by Sen. Mike Folmer (R-48) and he deserves high praise.

The bill was  passed on a 29-19 party-line vote by the by the Senate last May 6.

It was approved 108-83 by the House on March 21 with Ted Harhai of the 58th District being the only Democrat in favor and only eight Republicans dissenting. The dissenters included Delaware County representatives Nick Miccarelli of the 162nd District and James Santora of the 163rd District.
