Prohibiting spending authority for money used by board or commission that retains labor position
SB 91 prohibits county boards and commissions from using public funds if they retain a labor representative position. Starting July 1, 2026, any requirement for labor representatives on these bodies is eliminated, and they must appoint a non-labor-affiliated "lay person" instead. Boards or commissions failing to comply by this date lose spending authority for all activities. The bill directly affects county-level boards and commissions that currently include labor representatives in their membership structure.
