Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

The bill explicitly protects collective bargaining rights, ensuring nothing in the law can be used to weaken existing labor agreements. Union workers at stadiums and in related industries could benefit from franchise stability, which preserves jobs tied to game-day operations.

Nothing in this Act shall be construed to preempt, diminish, or interfere with the right of employees to collectively bargain over terms and conditions of employment.
