Legislative Bill 41 amends section 79-873 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to enhance the rights of public school employees regarding their membership in labor organizations. The bill stipulates that labor organizations representing public school employees cannot impose restrictions on when these employees may join or terminate their membership in such organizations, effective for contracts entered into or renewed after the bill's enactment. Additionally, the bill modifies the existing authorization process for wage deductions related to labor organization membership, ensuring that employees are informed of their right to refuse authorization and that the certification of deductions remains binding unless otherwise specified.

The bill also repeals the original section 79-873 and declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This legislative change aims to harmonize provisions related to labor organization membership and enhance employee autonomy in their labor relations.
