(a)

Organize, form, join and assist labor organizations, engage in collective bargaining and supplemental bargaining through exclusive representatives and engage in other concerted activities; and

(b)

Refrain from engaging in such activity.

2.

Collective bargaining and supplemental bargaining entail a mutual obligation of the Executive Department and an exclusive representative to meet at reasonable times and to bargain in good faith with respect to:

(a)

The subjects of mandatory bargaining set forth in subsection 2 of NRS 288.150, except paragraph (f) of that subsection;

(b)

The negotiation of an agreement;

(c)

The resolution of any question arising under an agreement; and

(d)

The execution of a written contract incorporating the provisions of an agreement, if requested by either party.

3.

The subject matters set forth in subsection 3 of NRS 288.150 are not within the scope of mandatory bargaining and are reserved to the Executive Department without negotiation.

4.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement negotiated pursuant to the provisions of NRS 288.400 to 288.630, inclusive, the Executive Department is entitled to take the actions set forth in paragraph (b) of subsection 4 of NRS 288.150. Any action taken under the provisions of this subsection must not be construed as a failure to negotiate in good faith.

The Executive Department shall furnish to an exclusive representative data that is maintained in the ordinary course of business and which is relevant and necessary to the discussion of the subjects of mandatory bargaining described in subsection 2. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Executive Department to furnish to the exclusive representative any advice or training received by representatives of the Executive Department concerning collective bargaining.

7.

To the greatest extent practicable, any decision issued by the Board before October 1, 2019, relating to the interpretation of, or the performance under, the provisions of NRS 288.150 shall be deemed to apply to any complaint arising out of the interpretation of, or performance under, the provisions of this section.
