2018 Senate Bill 796: Ban schools and local governments paying union officials to do union work
Introduced by Sen. Marty Knollenberg (R) on January 30, 2018
To prohibit the state and local governments including public schools from carrying union officials on their payroll for doing union work, on either a full time or part time basis. Under these so-called “release time” arrangements many public school districts pay a local union official a full time teacher's salary and benefits even though the individual does not teach or perform any other educational functions. Official Text and Analysis.
