Reinserts the provisions of the bill as engrossed, and provides that unless mutually agreed otherwise, any party (rather than any public employer) to a collective bargaining agreement who obtains a stay of an award issued by an arbitration panel or single arbitrator, or any mutually agreed procedures, shall pay all reasonable costs of the proceedings in the reviewing courts, including reasonable attorneys' fees, as determined by the court, in the event the final, unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to that party (rather than the public employer).Governor Amendatory Veto Message Recommends, in provisions concerning grievance procedures, providing that, unless mutually agreed otherwise, a party to a collective bargaining agreement who fails to timely comply with an arbitration award or who, after timely demand, fails to submit a grievance dispute concerning the administration or interpretation of an agreement to arbitration "may be ordered by a reviewing court to pay" (rather than "shall pay") to the prevailing party all reasonable costs of the proceeding in the trial and reviewing courts, including reasonable attorney's fees, as determined by the court, incurred in relation to any action to confirm or amend an award or to compel or stay arbitration of a grievance "in the event the final, unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to the non-compliant party if the prevailing party can demonstrate that the opposing party proceeded in bad faith by unreasonably and vexatiously multiplying the proceedings in order to delay compliance or enforcement of the arbitration award" (rather than "in the event the final, unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to the non-compliant party"). Also recommends, in provisions concerning security employee, peace officer, and fire fighter disputes, providing that, unless mutually agreed otherwise, a party to a collective bargaining agreement who obtains a stay of an award issued by an arbitration panel or single arbitrator under the authority of this Section, or any mutually agreed procedures, "may be ordered by a reviewing court to pay" (rather than "shall pay") all reasonable costs of the proceedings in the reviewing courts, including reasonable attorney's fees, as determined by the court, "in the event the final, unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to that party if the prevailing party can demonstrate that the opposing party proceeded in bad faith by unreasonably and vexatiously multiplying the proceedings in order to delay compliance or enforcement of the arbitration award" (rather than "in the event the final, unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to that party"). 2/4/2015HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep.
