Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Federal law supporting alternative dispute resolution is found in the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act of 1996, 5 USC Sec. 571 – 584, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC Sec. 1 – 16. These laws provide some detail on ADR, but also leave it to various parties (government agencies, for instance) to adopt various forms of alternative dispute resolution.
In addition to the federal law, there are numerous state laws on ADR. In fact, thirty-five states have adopted the Uniform Arbitration Act as state law. Several states have also adopted the Revised Uniform Arbitration Act.
Below is a summary of Texas’ requirements regarding ADR. Consult the regulatory links for detailed information.
Arbitration
Under Texas law, an employer and employees may submit a dispute or grievance resulting from the employer's and employees' work relationship to a board for a hearing and determination.
The employer may designate two arbitrators to serve on the board.
