Senate Bill No. introduced by J. Fuller aims to revise labor laws concerning the use of public funds and resources for labor organization activities, specifically targeting school districts and teacher organizations. The bill prohibits public employers from contributing public funds to labor organizations or compensating public employees for engaging in labor organization activities. It allows public employees to take unpaid leave for such activities, with provisions for using compensated personal leave under certain conditions. Additionally, the bill modifies existing definitions and rules regarding labor organization activities, including the reporting requirements for public employers and exclusive representatives.

The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), including sections related to the rules of conduct for public officers and employees, pupil-instruction-related days, and attendance at professional development meetings. Notably, it removes provisions that allowed school districts to close for annual meetings of teachers' organizations and restricts the use of public resources for labor organization activities. The bill also introduces new definitions and clarifications regarding labor organization activities, ensuring that certain training and charitable events are excluded from the prohibitions. Overall, the legislation seeks to limit the intersection of public resources and labor organization activities while providing a framework for public employees' engagement in such activities under specific conditions.
