Indiana’s House of Representatives approved a bill that would exempt nonunion employees from paying dues when working alongside union workers, a critical step toward final passage.

Democrats boycotted some of the Republican-controlled chamber’s sessions for about three weeks, preventing a quorum. The House passage by a vote of 54-44 sends the bill to the Senate, which already cleared a version. Indiana would be the first state to endorse such a law since Oklahoma approved a similar measure in 2001.
