AI Summary
This bill prohibits existing employee organizations from continuing to represent school district employees after December 31, 2023, unless they receive majority support in a secret ballot election conducted by the school district board of education. The bill requires the board to hold these elections, which can be conducted by various means, and allows the board to establish a fee schedule to fund the elections. If the existing organization fails to receive majority support, the board will no longer recognize it, and the employees will be unrepresented, though the existing contract terms will continue. The bill also prohibits school districts from making payroll deductions for any public employee association or organization that collectively bargains on behalf of its membership.
