Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill aims to modify existing labor organization rules for public school employees by preventing labor organizations from imposing restrictions on when an employee can join or terminate their membership. Specifically, the bill prohibits labor organizations representing public school employees from including any membership contract provisions that limit an employee's ability to join or leave the organization, effective immediately after the act's passage. The bill amends Section 79-873 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes, which previously allowed annual certification of deduction amounts, by adding language that ensures employees have more flexibility in their labor organization membership. By removing the phrase "annually" and adding a cross-reference to the new restrictions, the bill provides public school employees with greater freedom to control their labor organization membership status. The act is designed to take effect immediately upon passage, as declared by an emergency clause, which means the new rules would apply as soon as the bill is signed into law.
