A.G. File No. 2005-141

The Public Employees' Right to Approve Use of Union Dues for Political Campaign Purposes Act

January 24, 2006

 


This measure amends state statutes to require public employee unions to get annual, written consent from a state or local government employee in order to charge and use the employee’s union dues or fees for a political committee, as defined in state law. This requirement would apply to both members and nonmembers of a public employee union. The measure also would require unions to keep certain records, including copies of any consent forms.
