Bill > SB587

This bill amends the Tax Reform Code of 1971 to establish new restrictions on tax credits and tax benefits related to anti-union activities. Specifically, before awarding a tax credit or tax benefit, state departments or agencies must investigate whether an applicant or recipient has committed anti-union activities within the previous 10 years. The bill defines anti-union activities broadly, including complaints or settlements related to unfair labor practices issued by the National Labor Relations Board, Federal court findings of interference or coercion with labor rights, violations of the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Act, and complaints or violations of orders from the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board. If an applicant or recipient is found to have engaged in such anti-union activities, the department or agency is prohibited from awarding the tax credit or tax benefit. The bill aims to discourage anti-union behavior by creating a financial consequence for employers who are found to have violated labor rights. The provisions will take effect 60 days after the bill's enactment.
