BOISE — A bill that would restrict the funding of teachers unions has been advanced to the Idaho House.

On Monday, the House State Affairs Committee voted 12-3 to send HB 98 to the full House. Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, sponsored the bill, which would ban taxpayer funds from going toward teachers unions or affiliated entities, and financially penalize school districts up to $2,500 for allowing teachers to pay union dues through automatic payroll deductions.
