SB402

Senate Bill 402 prohibits public school districts and educational service cooperatives in Arkansas from requiring or coercing employees to interact with employee organizations or professional associations. It also bans these entities from distributing membership solicitations on behalf of such groups. Additionally, the bill mandates that if a school district or cooperative grants access to its facilities, communication systems, or resources to an employee organization or professional association, it must provide the same terms to any other requesting organization or corporation. This effectively establishes a neutrality requirement regarding the use of public school resources by professional or labor associations.
