Protecting Taxpayers’ Wallets Act of 2025

Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Bill 119 HR 1210, also known as the "Labor Organization Accountability Act," aims to amend chapter 71 of title 5, United States Code. The main purpose of this bill is to require labor organizations to pay for the agency resources and employee time that they use. This means that labor organizations would be charged for the services and resources provided to them by government agencies.

The bill is intended to increase accountability and transparency within labor organizations by ensuring that they are responsible for the costs associated with their activities. By requiring labor organizations to pay for the resources and employee time they use, the bill aims to prevent misuse of government resources and ensure that taxpayers are not footing the bill for activities that benefit only a specific group.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to hold labor organizations accountable for their use of government resources and to ensure that they are operating in a responsible and transparent manner. Critics, however, argue that the bill could have a chilling effect on the ability of labor organizations to advocate for their members and could potentially infringe on their rights to free speech and association. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1210 seeks to address concerns about the use of government resources by labor organizations and to promote greater accountability and transparency in their operations. It will be important to closely monitor the implementation of this bill to ensure that it achieves its intended goals without unduly restricting the activities of labor organizations.
