This bill, known as "The New Hampshire Right to Work Act," prohibits collective bargaining agreements that mandate employees to join or contribute to a labor union. It introduces a new chapter, Chapter 273-E, into the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA), which outlines the rights of employees to refrain from union membership and financial contributions 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 penalties for violations include misdemeanors and fines.

The bill also establishes provisions for injunctive relief and damages for individuals harmed by violations of the chapter, allowing them to recover costs and reasonable attorney fees. The Attorney General is tasked with investigating complaints and enforcing the provisions of this chapter. Notably, the bill includes exceptions for certain federal employees and contracts entered into before its effective date. The fiscal impact of the bill is indeterminable, as it may affect judicial and correctional systems due to the introduction of new penalties and civil remedies.
