4. Elections to establish majority representatives in new Statewide collective negotiations units will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of P.L.1941, c.100 (C.34:13A-1 et seq.) with such elections to be conducted by the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC). As soon after the enactment of this act as is practicable, there shall be a 30-day open period during which representation petitions may be filed to determine statewide negotiations units and majority representatives of judicial employees.

PERC shall conduct elections as soon thereafter as is practicable. Judges' secretaries, law clerks and Central Appellate Research staff shall not be eligible for representation by employee organizations under provisions of the New Jersey Employer-Employee Relations Act, P.L.1941, c.100 (C.34:13A-1 et seq.) nor shall those employees who are confidential employees or managerial executives under that act. Notwithstanding any representation proceedings which occur pursuant to this section, the judiciary shall continue to negotiate in good faith in county-based negotiations units where collective negotiations agreements for 1994 have not been executed.
