SB 2330 – Ends government-collected union dues

PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION

Senate Journal Page: 1679

SB 2330 ends the practice of government entities acting as middlemen for collecting union dues and fees from government employee paychecks. It ensures that taxpayer-funded payroll systems are no longer used to facilitate financial transactions with outside organizations, restoring proper government boundaries. While it doesn’t stop employees from supporting any group they choose, it simply removes the government from the process, eliminating indirect subsidies and administrative costs. This reform protects employee choice while respecting taxpayer resources and limiting government overreach. It also reduces risk of improper or coerced deductions. By requiring unions to collect their own dues, the bill encourages financial independence and accountability, and aligns with principles of transparency, government neutrality, and fiscal responsibility.
