Subcommittee approves opt-in deduction for DNR wildlife officers’ association dues (SB765)
Summary
Representative Lowe told the subcommittee that Senate Bill 765 would authorize opt-in payroll deduction of association dues for DNR wildlife officers at no cost to the state; the subcommittee gave the bill a favorable report by roll call, 5–0.
Representative Lowe described Senate Bill 765 as a measure allowing the comptroller to deduct association dues from the pay of Department of Natural Resources wildlife officers on an opt-in basis. "This is opt in," Lowe said when asked; he added there is no cost to the state for the deduction.
Committee members had no substantive questions and the subcommittee took a roll-call vote, returning a favorable report, 5–0.
Because the provision is an opt-in payroll deduction and proponents stated it carries no state cost, the committee’s action advances the measure to the full committee for further consideration.
