The proposed bill aims to regulate the financial practices of public employee labor organizations in Wyoming by prohibiting public employers from automatically deducting dues and assessments from employees' paychecks for labor organizations or political entities. It establishes a requirement for labor organizations to submit annual reports detailing their membership, revenue, and expenditures related to political activities and legal services. These reports must be distributed to members, published on the organization's website, and made available to the public upon request. Violations of these provisions would be classified as misdemeanors, and complaints can be filed with the attorney general or district attorney.

Additionally, the bill introduces new definitions for "labor organization," "public employee," and "public employer," while repealing certain obsolete provisions. It clarifies that the act does not affect existing contracts or agreements made prior to its effective date, which is set for July 1, 2026. The bill also ensures that it does not infringe upon the rights of public employees regarding their relationship with labor organizations or collective bargaining processes.
