This proposed legislation, known as the "TEACH Act," aims to prohibit the National Education Association (NEA) from engaging in any lobbying activities , as defined by the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. It seeks to amend title 36 of the U.S. Code to establish this new restriction on the federally chartered corporation. Under the bill's provisions, the NEA would be required to submit an annual certification to the Secretary of Education , assuring that no lobbying activities have been conducted. Furthermore, the corporation must maintain specific records to facilitate effective audits of these certifications. The most significant consequence for any violation of this prohibition would be the termination of the NEA's status as a federally chartered corporation .
