7th Circuit Court of Appeals 

Anderson Federation of Teachers v Todd Rokita

No. 23-1823 

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Judge Sarah Evans Barker. The court affirmed the district court’s ruling that Senate Enrolled Acts 251 and 297 violated the First Amendment rights of teachers by imposing additional requirements on payroll deductions for union dues that did not apply to other public employees. The court concluded that these restrictions constituted viewpoint discrimination, triggering strict scrutiny, which the state failed to satisfy. Judge Lee authored the opinion. Appellant attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
