What this bill would do

The STUDENT Act aims to amend the federal charter of the National Education Association (NEA). This bill imposes new requirements on the organization, including restrictions on political activities and advocacy. It changes how membership dues can be collected from government employees, prohibiting the use of payroll deductions. Additionally, the bill establishes strict prohibitions against certain ideologies and labor actions like strikes or work stoppages. It also mandates various record-keeping and transparency requirements for the corporation. Finally, the act repeals the NEA's property tax exemption in the District of Columbia.
