The bill amends the law concerning public officers and employees in Arkansas by prohibiting public employers from deducting labor organization membership dues from the compensation of public employees. It introduces a new section, 21-1-107, which defines key terms such as "labor organization," "public employee," "public employer," and "public safety employee." The definitions clarify the scope of the bill, specifying that a labor organization includes labor unions and professional employee associations that are tax-exempt under certain provisions of the U.S. tax code.

Under the new provisions, public employers are generally prohibited from deducting any dues, fees, or contributions to a labor organization from the compensation of public employees, with the exception of public safety employees. This means that while most public employees will not have their labor organization dues deducted from their paychecks, public safety employees are exempt from this prohibition and may still have such deductions made.
