Indiana lawmakers are continuing an effort to change how teachers pay union dues through paycheck deductions with a new law. It tweaks previous legislation that a federal judge said likely violated the constitution.

The Indiana House will soon weigh in on whether teachers need extra steps to authorize union dues taken from their paychecks, but it comes after the bill passed the Senate in an unusual way.

The bill would make teachers sign forms each summer allowing their union to automatically deduct dues from paychecks.

Teachers may be required to take extra steps to pay union dues if a bill discussed Wednesday becomes law.

State laws and district policies, meanwhile, have for years chipped away at the organization's power and influence.
