S. 2310 would repeal the federal charter granted to the National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers union in the United States. A federal charter is a special congressional authorization that gives an organization certain legal privileges and recognition at the federal level. This bill would eliminate that status by removing Chapter 1511 of title 36 of the United States Code, which contains the NEA's charter. The legislation, introduced by Senators Blackburn and Lummis in July 2025, directly affects the NEA and would alter its legal standing, though the bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timeline beyond the repeal itself. The practical implications of losing the charter would depend on what specific federal benefits or protections the charter currently provides to the organization.
