This amendment substantially reduces the scope of the bill by removing reporting requirements for labor organizations and eliminating the penalties section, while retaining only the prohibition on automatic deductions of dues and related provisions.
- Removes references to reporting requirements from the bill's title and purpose statement. (Page 1, lines 4-7, 15)
- Deletes the entire reporting requirements section (subsections (b) and (c) of W.S. 27-7-116), which required labor organizations to prepare annual reports detailing membership, revenue, expenditures, and political spending, and to distribute these reports to members and the public. (Pages 3-4 and Page 5, lines 2-23)
- Removes subsections (d) through (g) of W.S. 27-7-116, which included an exemption for organizations filing federal LM-2 forms, complaint procedures with the attorney general, and savings clauses. (Page 6, lines 1-3 and Page 7, lines 19-23)
- Replaces the misdemeanor penalty provision with a simplified penalty section specifying that violations are punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000 or imprisonment not to exceed six months, or both. (Page 8, lines 15-18)
- Updates cross-references and subsection numbering throughout the bill to reflect the deletions, including renumbering section citations from Section 4 and 5 to Section 3 and 4. (Page 5, lines 18-25; Page 7, lines 14-15; Page 8, lines 5, 8, 20; Page 9, line 1)
