TEACH Act

This bill, S 2516 (TEACH Act), prohibits the National Education Association (NEA) - a federally chartered education organization - from engaging in lobbying activities. It requires the NEA to annually certify to the Secretary of Education that it has not lobbied, and to maintain records for audit. Violations would result in the loss of the NEA’s federally chartered status. The bill directly affects the NEA’s ability to lobby federal lawmakers while operating under its federal charter.
