The Honorable Ruben A. Valdez Speaker of the House of Representatives 242 State Capitol Building Denver, Colorado
Dear Mr. Speaker:
QUESTION PRESENTED AND CONCLUSION
Is it an unlawful delegation of legislative authority to statutorily mandate settlement by binding arbitration for a state governmental unit, a school district, a local government or other governmental entity?
Legislation permitting binding arbitration of grievances would not constitute unlawful delegation of legislative authority. However, binding arbitration of "interest" disputes may violate the Colorado constitution.
