Bill > S2516

This bill, known as the "Terminating Education Association Congressional Handouts Act" (TEACH Act), aims to prohibit the National Education Association (NEA) from engaging in lobbying activities. Specifically, the bill would amend Title 36 of the United States Code by adding a new section that prevents the NEA from participating in lobbying, which is defined by the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 as attempts to influence legislative or administrative action. The NEA would be required to submit an annual certification to the Secretary of Education affirming that they have not engaged in any lobbying activities and must maintain records to support this claim. The penalty for violating this prohibition would be the termination of the NEA's status as a federally chartered corporation. This bill appears to be targeting the NEA's political advocacy efforts by restricting its ability to lobby government officials or attempt to influence policy decisions.
