This change affects only those members who itemize deductions and meet the 2% requirement for additional miscellaneous deductions. For 2014-2015 those members will not be able to deduct as union dues the 15% of WEA dues attributable to lobbying. This is a total of $73.65. This amount is effective for income tax year 2015, i.e. your tax return due April 15, 2016.
