What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides an individual income tax subtraction for the amount of union dues and expenses paid by a private sector employee that are allocated for educational or training purposes. To claim the subtraction, the individual must be a member of a union that has a training facility located in this state.
