Bill > HB2341

This bill repeals and replaces Section 105.505 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, which governs the authorization of deducting moneys from the paychecks of public employees for the benefit of public labor organizations. The key provisions are: 1. Requires informed written or electronic authorization from public employees within the previous 12 months for any deductions from their paychecks for union dues, agency shop fees, or other fees. The authorization must be made on a specific form that outlines the voluntary nature of the authorization and the employee's right to refrain from union membership and dues payment. 2. Requires similar informed written or electronic authorization within the previous 12 months for any use of union dues or fees for political contributions or expenditures. Again, this authorization must be made on a specific form. 3. Prohibits increasing dues or fees for employees who do not authorize political contributions or expenditures. 4. Requires labor organizations to maintain detailed financial records and make them available to the public employees they represent. 5. Allows public employees to revoke any authorization at any time, with the revocation taking effect at the beginning of the next pay period. The bill aims to provide public employees with greater control and transparency over the use of their paycheck deductions by public labor organizations.
