AI Summary

  • Employers receiving state economic development incentives (including certain tax credits and OneGeorgia Authority funds) are prohibited from voluntarily recognizing a labor union based solely on signed authorization cards when a secret ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board is available as an alternative.
  • Employers receiving such incentives are barred from voluntarily disclosing employees' personal contact information—including home addresses, phone numbers, and personal email—to labor organizations or their agents without the employee's prior written consent, unless required by law.
  • Employers are also prohibited from requiring their subcontractors to engage in card-check union recognition or unauthorized disclosure of employee personal contact information.
  • Employers that violate these requirements must repay all economic development incentives received over the life of the project, and the Department of Community Affairs is authorized to investigate and enforce compliance.
  • The law applies only to agreements between the state and an employer executed on or after January 1, 2025.
