S.B. No. 2330 amends various sections of the Texas Education Code and Government Code to establish regulations regarding payroll deductions for certain state and local government employee organizations, particularly focusing on law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency medical services personnel. The bill introduces a new section, 22.0011, which allows school district employees who are licensed law enforcement officers to have membership fees or dues deducted from their salaries, provided they submit a written request to the district. Additionally, it modifies the definition of "eligible state employee organization" to include organizations primarily composed of law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency medical services personnel, while removing previous membership requirements.

The bill also includes a prohibition on the collection of dues for labor organizations, with specific exceptions for deductions authorized under certain sections of the Government Code and the Education Code. It amends existing laws to clarify the types of organizations eligible for payroll deductions and repeals outdated provisions. The changes aim to streamline the process for payroll deductions while ensuring that only specific employee organizations are eligible, thus enhancing the clarity and efficiency of payroll practices for public employees. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
