Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 846 amends the Local Government Code to restrict the use of payroll deductions requested by an employee of a municipality with a population of more than 10,000 for payment of membership dues to pay dues only to a bona fide employees' association that does not claim the right to strike. The bill also requires the governing body of a municipality with a population of more than 50,000 to make the payroll deduction for payment of such dues if requested in writing by the employee and if the municipality permits deductions for purposes other than deductions for charity, health insurance, or taxes or other deductions required by law.
