Bill > HB1845

This bill amends various state laws to establish new requirements for the deduction of union dues or representation fees from public employees. Key provisions include: - Employers may only deduct union dues or representation fees from employees who have directly authorized the employer to do so through a standard biannual authorization form. - Employees can revoke their authorization at any time, and employers must stop deductions within one month of receiving a written revocation. - Employers are prohibited from delegating the administration of the authorization process to private entities and cannot use public funds to resolve disputes between employees and employee representative organizations over dues or fees. - The bill aims to protect employees' First Amendment right to freedom of association by ensuring the authorization process is directly between the employee and employer.
