Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend chapter 105, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to the authorization of the deduction of moneys from the paychecks of public employees for the benefit of public labor organizations, with a penalty provision.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Public Employee Janus Rights Act," aims to implement the Supreme Court's ruling in Janus v. AFSCME, which established that public employees have a First Amendment right to refrain from joining or paying dues to a labor union. The bill requires public employers to obtain annual, informed, written or electronic authorization from employees before deducting union dues or fees from their paychecks. It also requires the union to obtain separate authorization from employees before using their dues or fees for political purposes. The bill prohibits employers from making union membership or dues payment a condition of employment, and allows employees to revoke their authorization at any time. The Department of Labor can impose fines of up to $500 per violation for non-compliance.
