To amend the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 to require labor organizations to include results of certain audits in financial reports, and for other purposes.
Key claim: HR9636 would amend the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 to require labor organizations to include results of certain audits in their financial reports.
Abstract
(HR9636 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-09): Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Why this matters
For unions, HR9636 would expand LMRDA disclosure obligations by requiring audit results to accompany the financial reports already filed with OLMS, increasing transparency to members and the public but adding compliance workload. For employers and workers, it does not change bargaining rights or workplace conditions, but it sharpens the financial-accountability side of the union-governance framework. Status is introductory (referred to committee), so no operational changes take effect unless enacted.
