The bill would ban public sector unions from making automatic withdrawals from employee paychecks for political purposes. KPR’s Stephen Koranda has more on the bill, which passed the House on a 68-56 vote.
A similar bill died in the Senate in 2011. But that chamber now has new, conservative leadership, so this bill has a better chance of passing.
