This bill would add a new section to chapter 1511 of title 36, United States Code. It would prohibit the National Education Association (referred to in the text as "the corporation") from engaging in lobbying activities as defined in section 3 of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. The corporation must submit an annual certification to the Secretary of Education saying it did not engage in such lobbying and must keep records the Secretary may require for audit. The penalty for violating the prohibition is termination of the corporation's status as a federally chartered corporation. The bill also updates the chapter table of sections to include the new section.
The bill would bar the National Education Association from doing any lobbying that falls under the Lobbying Disclosure Act definition. The NEA would need to file a yearly certification with the Secretary of Education and keep records for possible audits. If the NEA violates the prohibition, it could lose its federally chartered corporation status. No publicly available information on other direct effects on individuals or services.
