| 2.__Contract signed after October 1, 2005.__If a contract between |
| a public employer and a bargaining agent signed after October 1, 2005 |
| expires prior to the parties' agreement on a new contract, the grievance |
| arbitration provisions of the expired contract remain in effect until the |
| parties execute a new contract.__In any arbitration that is conducted |
| pursuant to this subsection, an arbitrator shall apply only those |
| provisions enforceable by virtue of the static status quo doctrine and |
| may not add to, restrict or modify the applicable static status quo |
| following the expiration of the contract, unless the parties have |
| otherwise agreed in the collective bargaining agreement.__All such |
| grievances that are appealed to arbitration are subject exclusively to |
| the grievance and arbitration process contained in the expired agreement, |
| and the board does not have jurisdiction over such grievances.__The |
| arbitrator's determination is subject to appeal pursuant to the Uniform |
| Arbitration Act.__Disputes over which provisions in an expired contract |
| are enforceable by virtue of the static status quo doctrine first must be |
| resolved by the board, subject to appeal pursuant to applicable law.__The |
| grievance arbitration is stayed pending resolution of this issue by the |
| board.__The board may adopt rules as necessary to establish a procedure |
| to implement the intent of this section.__Rules adopted pursuant to this |
| subsection are routine technical rules as defined in Title 5, chapter |
| 375, subchapter 2-A.__Nothing in this subsection expands, limits or |
| modifies the scope of any grievance arbitration provisions, including |
| procedural requirements. |
