Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to salary or wage deductions for classroom teachers employed by public schools.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Texas education law regarding salary deductions for public school classroom teachers by prohibiting school districts from deducting or agreeing to deduct membership fees or dues to labor organizations, trade unions, employees' associations, or professional organizations directly from teachers' salaries. The bill maintains the existing provision that allows school district employees to have salary deductions for professional organization membership fees, which requires the employee to file a signed written request specifying the organization and the number of pay periods for deductions. Currently, employees must either inform the district of the total fees and dues amount or have the organization notify the district. The new provision specifically targets classroom teachers, preventing them from having union or organizational dues automatically deducted from their wages. This change will take effect on September 1, 2025, potentially impacting teachers' ability to have union dues automatically withdrawn from their paychecks.
