What this bill would do

This bill, known as the Paycheck Protection Act, seeks to amend title 5 of the United States Code. It proposes that federal agencies are prohibited from deducting labor organization dues from the pay of Federal employees. Additionally, the bill amends title 39 to ensure the Postal Service cannot deduct any amounts for labor organization dues, fees, or political contributions. The legislation includes specific clerical amendments to update the tables of sections in both titles.
