Topic: "Arbitration Reform (HB 2930) - Implications and Implementation Steps for Your Agency"
As the 2021 Legislative Session came to a close, several new laws affecting public employers headed to Governor Brown’s desk for her signature and many others were already signed into law. There are new employment laws addressing changes to OFLA, new burdens on employers and employees engaged in litigation over whistleblower claims, new discrimination provisions under Oregon law, and training and recordkeeping requirements for law enforcement personnel. The intense debate over law enforcement reform also resulted in bills during the 2021 legislative session, including HB 2930 which changes the arbitration process for law enforcement officers. Join CIS PreLoss Attorney Katie Kammer and Beery Elsner and Hammond partner Ashley Driscoll as they discuss the new laws and guidance for navigating them, including any recommended adjustments to policies and practices to track these new laws.
