Bill > SB343

This bill generally revises public sector unions law related to the use of taxpayer resources. Specifically, it prohibits public employers from providing any form of compensation or paid leave to public employees for time spent engaged in labor organization activities, and from reimbursing public employees for expenses incurred while working on labor organization activities. However, the bill allows public employees to use their own accrued personal leave to engage in these activities, and allows labor organizations to compensate public employees for engaging in labor organization activities. The bill also adds a new provision to the state's code of ethics for public officers and employees, prohibiting them from violating the restrictions on the use of public resources for labor organization activities.
