H.R. 8775

Ending Predator Access to Union Power Act

Education and Workforce Committee · Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC)

The bill would expand existing restrictions on who can hold union leadership positions by adding individuals convicted of sex offenses against minors to the list of people barred from serving in such roles for 13 years after their conviction or release from prison. Currently, similar bans apply only to those convicted of crimes like robbery, bribery, burglary, murder, or rape.[AI-Generated]
