STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31086 / S1259
The Secret Ballot Protection Act proposes amending Section 72-1382 to safeguard employee rights and privacy
during union formation elections. It guarantees the right to vote via secret ballot elections, either administered
by the director or through a similar process conducted by the employer. However, this legislation excludes
employees under the exclusive jurisdiction of federal officials or boards.
FISCAL NOTE
The proposed measure will have no fiscal impact on the General Fund, as it neither allocates funds nor leads to
a reduction in expenditures.
