(b) In the case of a person employed by the Department of Financial

All transferred employees who are members of

bargaining agreement, the rights provided for under that agreement and
memoranda and supplements to that agreement, including but not limited to, the
rights of employees performing duties pertaining to the administration of the
Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act (superseded by the Revised Uniform Unclaimed Property Act) to positions in other State

The State Treasurer shall
continue to honor during their pendency all bargaining agreements
in effect at the time of the transfer and to recognize all collective
bargaining representatives for the employees who perform or will perform
functions transferred by this amendatory Act of 1999. For all purposes with
respect to the management of the existing agreement and the
negotiation and management of any successor agreements, the State Treasurer
shall be deemed to
be the employer of employees who perform or will perform functions transferred
to the Office of the State Treasurer by
this amendatory Act of 1999.
