Do Pass Amended
Summary
The bill forbids any public education employer – from K‑12 districts to technical colleges – from using state funds to deduct union dues, pay employees for union work, share personal data, or otherwise aid labor organizations. It does allow employees to take unpaid or donated leave for union activities, with the union reimbursing the school for the time spent. Violations trigger civil fines equal to the amount misused.
