Ending Predator Access to Union Power Act
Union Leadership: Ban on Sex Offenders
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being sent to the House Committee on Education and Workforce for review. It is actively moving forward, but no further hearings or votes have been scheduled yet. There is no companion bill listed for this legislation at this time.
Legislative Progress
Most bills introduced this late in a two year session do not become law because there is not enough time left for a full vote in both chambers.
Key Points
- This bill would stop people convicted of sex crimes against children from holding leadership roles in labor unions. It updates a law from 1959 that already bans people with other serious criminal records from these jobs.
- The ban applies to positions like union officers, board members, and employees who handle union money or property. It aims to make sure that people in powerful labor positions do not have a history of harming children.
- If this bill becomes law, the new rules would start 30 days later. This would give unions a month to make sure their leaders and staff meet the new safety standards.
