limit the use of taxpayer funds and resources by a public education employer to support a labor organization or affiliate and to provide a penalty therefor.
What changed between versions
New definitions were added for 'affiliate,' 'employee,' 'labor organization,' 'labor organization activities,' 'public education employer,' and 'representational activities' to clarify what constitutes union-related work and which entities are covered.
Public education employers are now prohibited from deducting union dues from employee pay, increasing compensation specifically to pay union dues, sharing employee information with unions without consent, coercing employees to interact with unions, distributing union communications, favoring one union over another, or providing paid time for union activities.
The bill explicitly prohibits the use of public moneys to support labor organizations through various means, including direct contributions, paid leave for union activities, and other forms of financial support.
The legislation establishes a penalty framework for violations, though specific penalty amounts or enforcement mechanisms are referenced in subsequent sections not shown in this excerpt.
