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 such organizations, or make equivalent payments to third parties. Additionally, any agreements that violate these rights are deemed prohibited, and violators may face misdemeanor charges, fines, or imprisonment.

The bill also establishes provisions for injunctive relief and damages for individuals harmed by violations of the chapter, allowing them to recover costs and attorney fees. The Attorney General is tasked with investigating complaints and enforcing the law. 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 bill's implementation is expected to have indeterminable fiscal impacts on state and local governments, particularly concerning judicial and correctional costs due to the introduction of new penalties and civil remedies.
