Currently, membership dues may be deducted from the compensation of employees that request such deduction.
This bill prohibits school districts from deducting or collecting dues, fees, or contributions on behalf of a professional association or political fund.
The bill defines "professional association" as a lawful association that is composed of school district employees and exists for the purpose of dealing with school district employers concerning grievances, labor disputes, wages, rates of pay, hours of employment, or other terms and conditions of employment.
This bill allows school district employees to join or terminate membership in professional associations at any time and prohibits such associations from limiting when an employee may join or terminate their memberships.
This bill is similar to HB 3001 (2026).
