This bill requires federal agencies to submit detailed annual reports to Congress about "official time"—paid time that federal employees can spend on union-related activities while on the government clock. Each agency must report the total cost of this official time, explain why it authorized each instance, and provide specifics about individual employees who received it, including their position, pay, hours spent on union activities, and what percentage of their work time this represents. Agencies must also disclose how much they allow unions to use government property for free or at reduced rates, the monetary value of those benefits, and any money the agency collects back as reimbursement. The reports must be submitted by June 30 each year starting the year after the bill is enacted and posted on each agency's public website. This legislation is designed to increase transparency about how much taxpayer money goes toward supporting union activities within the federal workforce.
