MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A7601A SPONSOR: Abbate
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to membership dues in an employee organization and signed authorizations for deduction   PURPOSE: To streamline the process for an individual to join a public sector union.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends the civil service law by adding a new section 159-d, to do the following: *Requires public employers to process dues authorization cards, to begin making required deductions and to transmit union dues to the recognized collective bargaining organization within thirty days. *Provides that within 30 days of employment or reemployment with a public employer, or promotion and transfers to new bargaining units the employer shall provide the recognized employee organization of the name, job title, work location, work contact information and hours and allow the duly appointed representative to meet with that employee during work time for up to one hour. *Provides for time periods for authorization to deduction for payment of membership dues shall be the shorter of time set forth on authorization card or a time frame that may be set by future court rulings. *Provides for time periods for withdrawal of authorization to deduction for payment of membership dues prior to renewal to be the longer of time set forth on authorization card or a time frame that may be set by future court rulings. *Clarifies the allowable formats under article three of the state tech- nology law that dues authorization forms can take and ensure that such a form will be provided to an employee. *Provides for a clear system for an individual to withdrawal from payment of membership dues according to terms of the signed authori- zation card. *Defines terms according to Article 14 of the Civil Service Law. *Provides for a severability clause, to ensure that if any parts are found to be invalid the remainder shall be deemed valid *Provides that if any clause, sentence, paragraph of a signed authori- zation shall be found unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, all other provisions of existing dues authorization cards will continue to be valid by the terms of such authorization card. *Provides for an immediate effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: This legislation will simplify the process for an individual to join a public employee union by clarifying and streamlining the dues deduction authorization process. Furthermore, this legislation will make sure that the process is consistent among all public employers in the state. Under current law, the process varies among the different employers and can result in confusion and delays in the ability of unions to effec- tively represent their membership, as required by law.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill.   FISCAL IMPACT: None to State or Local Governments.   EFFECTIVE DATE: The act shall take effect immediately.
