CA AB2495

Authorizes employees subject to fair share fee deductions to instruct their employer to redirect those fees to a retirement savings plan of their choice instead of to the employee organization.

Exempts this new option from superseding memoranda of understanding in effect on January 1, 2013, but applies thereafter and cannot be overridden by subsequent agreements.

Maintains existing provisions allowing employees with religious objections to fair share fees to direct those amounts to approved charitable funds instead of employee organizations.

Preserves existing fair share fee provisions including monthly remittance requirements, financial reporting by employee organizations, and employee rights to fair representation.
