Bill > SB1937

This bill, effective November 1, 2026, prohibits employers from receiving state or local economic development incentives, which are defined as grants, loans, or tax credits, if they engage in certain practices related to labor organizations. Specifically, an employer would be ineligible if they voluntarily recognize a union based solely on signed authorization cards instead of a secret ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), share an employee's personal contact information with a union without written consent, or sign a "neutrality agreement" with a union, which is an agreement where the employer might commit to not discussing union matters with employees. The bill also prohibits employers from requiring subcontractors to engage in these prohibited activities. If an employer is found to have violated these provisions after receiving an incentive, they will be required to repay all incentives received for the project. However, these restrictions do not apply to employers or subcontractors who do not directly receive economic development incentives, nor do they affect agreements made before the bill's effective date or employers with existing collective bargaining agreements or where a secret ballot election has already occurred. Suspected violations can be reported to the Attorney General, who will investigate and determine if a violation has occurred.
