        20.19  IMPASSE PROCEDURES -- AGREEMENT OF PARTIES.
         As the first step in the performance of their duty to bargain, the
      public employer and the employee organization shall endeavor to agree
      upon impasse procedures.  Such agreement shall provide for
      implementation of these impasse procedures not later than one hundred
      twenty days prior to the certified budget submission date of the
      public employer.  However, if public employees represented by the
      employee organization are teachers licensed under chapter 272, and
      the public employer is a school district or area education agency,
      the agreement shall provide for implementation of impasse procedures
      not later than one hundred twenty days prior to May 31 of the year
      when the collective bargaining agreement is to become effective.  If
      the public employer is a community college, the agreement shall
      provide for implementation of impasse procedures not later than one
      hundred twenty days prior to May 31 of the year when the collective
      bargaining agreement is to become effective.  If the parties fail to
      agree upon impasse procedures under the provisions of this section,
      the impasse procedures provided in sections 20.20 to 20.22 shall
      apply.
