Bill > SB1166

This bill prohibits public employers in Arizona from spending public funds on union activities or entering into employment contracts that allow public employees to engage in union activities or receive paid leave for such purposes. The bill provides standing for residents and the state attorney general to file lawsuits against public employers who violate these provisions. It also preempts any local regulations that conflict with the state's restrictions on the use of public monies and employees for union activities. The bill exempts existing employment contracts and allows public employees to use their personal leave for union activities.
