Latest version.
  • A.  Except as provided by subsection B of this section, any contract or agreement between a minor and a union is not a valid contract or agreement and shall be null and void for any purpose including, but not limited to, official recognition by a union for purposes of intent or interest by a minor to join, vote, or consent to any action of the union.

    B.  Any contract or agreement between a minor and a union shall be signed and adjoined by the parent or legal guardian of the minor.  The minor, or parent or legal guardian of the minor, shall have the right to rescind the contract or agreement within ninety (90) days of the date of the contract or agreement.

    C.  Any funds received by a union in an attempt to contractually obligate a minor, without meeting the provisions set forth in subsection B of this section, shall be fully refunded to the minor within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the minor, or parent or legal guardian of the minor.  If the full amount of funds received by the union has not been refunded to the minor, or parent or legal guardian of the minor within thirty (30) days, the full amount of funds due shall double each successive thirty-day-period until such refund is made in full to the minor, or parent or legal guardian of the minor.
