AL SB231

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

Employers cannot disclose employees' personal contact information (home address, phone number, cell phone number, or personal email) to labor organizations or third parties acting on their behalf without prior written employee consent, unless required by law.

Employers receiving incentives are prohibited from requiring subcontractors to engage in the prohibited practices listed above.

Employers that violate these restrictions must repay all economic development incentives received over the life of the project.

The law does not apply to agreements executed before January 1, 2025, or to employers with existing collective bargaining agreements or completed secret ballot elections as of the effective date; the Alabama Department of Revenue or administering agency may investigate violations and enforce the law.
