S.B. No. 2330 is a legislative bill that introduces new provisions regarding payroll deductions for certain state and local government employee organizations, specifically targeting law enforcement personnel, fire protection personnel, and emergency medical services personnel. The bill amends the Education Code by adding Section 22.0011, which allows school district employees who are licensed law enforcement officers to have membership fees or dues deducted from their salaries. Employees must submit a written request to the district specifying the organization and the amount to be deducted. Additionally, the bill modifies the Government Code to redefine "eligible state employee organization" and to clarify the conditions under which payroll deductions for labor organization dues are permissible.
The bill also includes a prohibition on the collection of labor organization dues by the state or political subdivisions, with specific exceptions for deductions related to certain employee organizations and charitable contributions. It amends various sections of the Local Government Code to ensure that payroll deductions for employee associations are aligned with the new regulations, while repealing outdated provisions. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
