STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation prohibits public officials from allowing school district funds, personnel, and other resources to be used in support of teachers’ unions. Depending on the outcome of district-by-district bargaining negotiations, some school districts may experience a modest indeterminate increase in revenue. This could occur if unions are required to reimburse the district for any time teachers spend on union-related activities during school work hours.

FISCAL NOTE

This legislation causes no increase or decrease in revenue, or additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government; therefore, this legislation has no fiscal impact.
