Requires that a bargaining representative cannot use dues or fees collected from a public employee for political purposes unless the employee provides explicit written authorization for such use and has not revoked this authorization. The bill specifies that the bargaining representative must keep the employee's written authorization for a period extending to one year after the employee leaves the bargaining unit or revokes the authorization, whichever is later.
