AL HB459

Employers receiving state or local economic development incentives (grants, loans, or tax credits) are prohibited from voluntarily recognizing labor unions based solely on signed authorization cards when a secret ballot election is available.

Employers are prohibited from disclosing employees' personal contact information (home address, phone numbers, or personal email) to labor organizations or their representatives without the employee's prior written consent, unless required by state or federal law.

Employers are prohibited from requiring subcontractors to engage in the prohibited recognition or disclosure activities.

Employers violating these provisions must repay all economic development incentives received over the life of the project, with enforcement by the Alabama Department of Revenue.

The law becomes effective October 1, 2024, and does not apply to agreements executed before January 1, 2025.
