Caption: Relating to payroll deductions for certain state and local government employee organizations.

SB 2330 bans state and local government payroll deductions for labor union dues and professional organization fees, except for law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical personnel. It modifies various statutes to remove automatic payroll deductions for public-sector employees but retains charitable donation payroll deductions. The bill also clarifies that local governments cannot override this prohibition through collective bargaining agreements.
