Bill > SB244

This bill modifies provisions governing the authorization of the deduction of moneys from the paychecks of public employees for the benefit of public labor organizations. It requires the public body to obtain clear and compelling evidence that the employee has freely given written or electronic authorization for any deductions, and provides a specific form for such authorization. The bill also requires labor organizations to obtain separate authorization from members or non-members for using dues or fees for political contributions or expenditures. It prohibits increasing dues or fees for those who do not provide such authorization, and requires labor organizations to maintain and provide financial records to the represented public employees. The bill also allows employees to revoke their authorization at any time and imposes fines on public bodies that fail to comply with these provisions.
