The proposed bill, known as "The New Hampshire Right to Work Act," seeks to prohibit collective bargaining agreements that mandate employees to join or financially contribute to labor unions. It introduces a new chapter, Chapter 273-E, into the New Hampshire Revised Statutes, which outlines the rights of employees to refrain from union membership and financial obligations to labor organizations. Specifically, the bill states that no person shall be required, as a condition of employment, to become or remain a member of a labor organization, pay dues or fees to a labor organization, or make payments to third parties in lieu of such dues. Additionally, any agreements that violate these rights are deemed prohibited.

The bill also establishes penalties for violations, including misdemeanor charges and fines up to $1,000 or imprisonment for up to 90 days. It allows individuals harmed by violations to seek injunctive relief and recover damages, including attorney fees. The Attorney General is tasked with investigating complaints and enforcing the provisions of the chapter. Exceptions to the bill include federal employees and those covered by the Railway Labor Act, as well as existing employment contracts prior to the bill's effective date. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
