SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Union Member Protection Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Labor unions make significant political contributions 
        and expenditures that directly or indirectly influence the 
        election of candidates and support or oppose political causes. 
        Decisions to use union dues for political contributions and 
        expenditures are usually made by union leadership and 
        management, rather than union membership.
            (2) Unions, acting through their management, should be 
        obligated to conduct business in the best interests of their 
        membership.
            (3) Historically, union members have not had a way to know, 
        or to influence, the political activities of unions that are 
        supposed to represent them. Union members and the public have a 
        right to know how unions are spending members' dues to make 
        political contributions or expenditures benefitting candidates, 
        political parties, and political causes.
            (4) Unions should be accountable to their membership in 
        making political contributions or expenditures affecting 
        Federal governance and public policy. Requiring the express 
        approval of a union's membership for political contributions or 
        expenditures will establish necessary accountability.

SEC. 3. DISCLOSURE AND APPROVAL OF CERTAIN POLITICAL EXPENDITURES.

    (a) In General.--Title II of the Labor-Management Reporting and 
Disclosure Act (29 U.S.C. 431 et seq.) is amended by inserting after

        and including the total amount of such proposed expenditures;

answer:
Union Member Protection Act - Amends the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (Landrum-Griffin Act) to require a labor organization's mandatory report to the Secretary of Labor on its constitution, officers, and basic organization to include, in a clear and simple format, both: (1) a description of the specific nature and total amount of political expenditures the labor organization proposes to make for the upcoming fiscal year; and (2) a disclosure of how each labor organization officer voted on each political expenditure made by the organization during the preceding fiscal year.

                framework established by the President. The Commission 
                shall consult, as appropriate, with Canadian and 
                Mexican authorities to develop protocols for the 
                voluntary sharing of protected electric security

                and Mexican authorities and owners, operators, and

        section shall require a person or entity in possession of 
        protected electric security information to share such 
        information with Federal, State, local, or tribal authorities, 
        or any other person or entity.
            ``(4) Submission of information to congress.--Nothing in 
        this section shall permit or authorize the withholding of 
        information from Congress, any committee or subcommittee 
        thereof, or the Comptroller General.
            ``(5) Disclosure of non-protected information.--In 
        implementing this section, the Commission shall protect from 
        disclosure only the minimum amount of information necessary to 
        protect the security and reliability of the bulk-power system 
        and distribution facilities. The Commission shall segregate 
        protected electric security information within documents and 
        electronic communications, wherever feasible, to facilitate 
        disclosure of information that is not designated as protected 
        electric security information.

        the designation of protected electric security information, in 
        whole or in part, from a document or electronic communication 
        if the Commission determines that the unauthorized disclosure 
        of such information could no longer be used to impair the 
        security or reliability of the bulk-power system or 
        distribution facilities.
            ``(8) Judicial review of designations.--Notwithstanding 
        section 313(b), any determination by the Commission concerning 
        the designation of protected electric security information

        7 of title 5, except that such review shall be brought in the 
        district court of the United States in the district in which 
        the complainant resides, or has his principal place of 
        business, or in the District of Columbia. In such a case the 
        court shall examine in camera the contents of documents or 
        electronic communications that are the subject of the 
        determination under review to determine whether such documents 
        or any part thereof were improperly designated or not 
        designated as protected electric security information.

                or reliability of the bulk-power system as a result of 
                such physical attack or interference.
            ``(5) Grid security vulnerability.--The term `grid security 
        vulnerability' means a weakness in the bulk-power system that, 
        in the event of--
                    ``(A) a malicious act using electronic 
                communication or an electromagnetic pulse, would pose a 
                substantial risk of disruption to the operation of 
                those electronic devices or communications networks, 
                including hardware, software, data, and facilities, 
                that are essential to the security or reliability of 
                the bulk-power system; or
                    ``(B) a direct physical attack, or intentional 
                interference with, the bulk-power system, would pose a 
                substantial risk of significant adverse effects on the 
                security or reliability of the bulk-power system.
            ``(6) Protected electric security information.--The term 
        `protected electric security information'--
                    ``(A) means information generated by or provided to 
                the Commission, other than classified national security

        after ``215,'' each place it appears.
            (2) Public utility.--Section 201(e) of the Federal Power 
        Act (16 U.S.C. 824(e)) is amended by inserting ``215A,'' after 
        ``215,''.
answer:

Protecting Critical Infrastructure Act This bill amends the Federal Power Act to: (1) exempt protected electric security information from mandatory public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act; and (2) prohibit any state, local, or tribal authority from disclosing such information pursuant to state, local, or tribal law.  The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) shall promulgate specified regulations and issue the orders necessary to designate protected electric security information and to prohibit its unauthorized disclosure.  There is no requirement for a person or entity in possession of protected electric security information to share it with federal, state, local, or tribal authorities. Sharing information with Congress, however, is permitted.  Unless specifically redesignated by FERC, information may not be designated as protected electric security information for longer than five years. FERC shall remove a designation, in whole or in part, if it determines that its unauthorized disclosure could no longer be used to impair the security or reliability of the bulk-power system or distribution facilities.
