Paycheck Protection Act

Summary

Prohibits federal civilian and Postal Service employers from making automatic payroll deductions for labor organization dues, fees, or political contributions. It replaces existing statutory language in the federal pay and postal law to bar employer-facilitated automatic withholding. The bill does not specify an effective date, exceptions, or provide funding for implementation. It changes two U.S. Code provisions (in title 5 and title 39) and updates the tables of sections to reflect the new headings.

• Stops employer-run automatic payroll deductions for labor organization dues, fees, and political contributions for federal civilian and Postal Service employees.
• Amends 5 U.S.C. § 7115 (federal civilian workforce) and 39 U.S.C. § 1205 (Postal Service) to enact the prohibition.
• Updates the tables of sections in titles 5 and 39 to reflect new section headings.
• Does not include exceptions, effective dates, implementation guidance, or dedicated funding.
• Directly affects federal employees, postal workers, and labor organizations that use payroll deductions.
• Likely increases administrative burden on unions and individuals who must arrange alternative payment methods.
• Could reduce union revenue and ease of political contributions collected via payroll withholding.
• May prompt agencies and USPS to change payroll systems and processes to comply.
• Creates potential for legal or administrative disputes due to lack of transition rules.
