Public employees gain the right to examine how their union membership dues are spent, with employee organizations required to file quarterly reports to the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board within 15 business days of each calendar quarter's end.

Quarterly reports must include names of all union officers and employees, their annual salaries and benefits, detailed expense summaries including travel to conventions and conferences, and any independent expenditures made to influence elections.

Employee organizations must also provide the Board with their federal annual report required under 29 U.S.C. Chapter 11 (Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act), if applicable.

The Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board must establish a publicly accessible website posting all filed reports and copies of collective bargaining agreements.

Public employers must forward signed collective bargaining agreements to the Board within 15 days; the act takes effect January 1, 2026.
