Bill > HR6156

This bill, known as the "Endorsement Transparency Act," amends the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 to establish new requirements for labor unions when endorsing presidential candidates. Specifically, before a labor organization can officially endorse a candidate for President of the United States, they must first conduct a poll of their members to gauge their preferences and then publicly disclose the results of that poll to all members. The bill mandates that unions cannot make a presidential endorsement without first gathering and sharing membership input, thereby increasing transparency in the endorsement process. The new requirement will take effect 12 months after the bill's enactment, giving labor organizations time to adapt to the new polling and disclosure procedures. This legislation aims to ensure that union leadership more accurately represents the political preferences of their membership when making high-profile political endorsements.
