STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31061 / H0605
This legislation requires employers whose employees are represented by a labor organization to annually
provide a notice informing employees that union membership is voluntary, and they have the right to join
or refrain from joining and paying a labor union without discrimination. Additionally, this bill prohibits the
distribution or sale of mailing or telephone number lists by public agencies to labor unions without permission,
with specific exemptions and penalties for deliberate violations. These changes aim to inform employees
about their rights regarding union membership and protect privacy in the distribution of personal information
by public agencies.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund or local government as implementation falls upon employers.
