§ 93-b. Deductions from wages or salaries of civil service employees.

1. The fiscal or disbursing officer of every municipal corporation or

other civil division or political subdivision of the state is hereby

authorized to deduct from the wage or salary of any employee of such

municipal corporation or civil division or political subdivision of the

state such amount that such employee may specify in writing filed with

such fiscal or disbursing officer for the payment of dues in a duly

organized association or organization of civil service employees and to

transmit the sum so deducted to the said association or organization.

Any such written authorization shall remain in effect in accordance with

subdivision one of section two hundred eight of the civil service law.

2. The appropriate disbursing or fiscal officer of any municipality or

other political subdivision of the state is hereby authorized to deduct

from the salary of any employee of such municipality or political

subdivision such amount as such employee may specify in writing filed

with such appropriate disbursing or fiscal officer within the minimum

and maximum amounts prescribed by such appropriate disbursing or fiscal

officer for the purchase for such employee of United States bonds and

for contributions to federated community campaigns for health, welfare

and recreational purposes on behalf of such employee and to the account

of such employee with such federated community campaign. Such

appropriate disbursing or fiscal officer is hereby authorized to make

such rules and regulations governing the purchase of said bonds and

contributions to federated community campaigns as he deems necessary,

such rules and regulations to be incorporated in the employee's written

authorization of payroll deduction filed with such appropriate

disbursing or fiscal officer. Any such written authorization may be

withdrawn by such employee at any time by filing written notice of such

withdrawal with such appropriate disbursing or fiscal officer. As used

in this section "federated community campaign" means a charitable

non-profit organization which solicits funds for distribution among a

substantial number of charitable non-profit organizations.

3. Notwithstanding the provisions of and restrictions of sections two

hundred two and two hundred nine-a of the civil service law but subject

to the provisions of paragraph (b) of subdivision three of section two

hundred eight of such law, every employee organization that has been

recognized or certified as the exclusive representative of employees

within a negotiating unit of other than state employees shall be

entitled to have deducted from the wage or salary of the employees in

such negotiating unit who are not members of said employee organization

the amount equivalent to the dues levied by such employee organization,

and the fiscal or disbursing officer of such public employer shall

deduct from the salary of any employee represented by such employee

organization for the purpose of collective negotiations who has not

authorized the deduction of membership dues in such employee

organization pursuant to subdivision one of this section, an agency shop

fee deduction in the amount equivalent to the dues levied by such

employee organization. The fiscal or disbursing officer is further

authorized to accumulate such fees and transmit the fees so accumulated

to the employee organization.

4. The appropriate disbursing or fiscal officer of any municipality or

other political subdivision of the state is hereby authorized to deduct

from the salary of any employee of such municipality or political

subdivision such amount as such employee may specify in writing to be

filed with such appropriate disbursing or fiscal officer within the

minimum and maximum amounts prescribed by such appropriate disbursing or

fiscal officer for contributions to campus-related foundations and to

transmit the sums so deducted to such campus-related foundations. Any

such written authorization may be withdrawn by such employee at any time

upon filing written notice of such withdrawal with such appropriate

disbursing or fiscal officer. Such appropriate disbursing or fiscal

officer is hereby authorized to make such rules and regulations as he

deems necessary to provide for deductions for campus-related

foundations. As used in this subdivision, the term "campus-related

foundation" shall mean a non-profit corporation organized and existing

pursuant to the education law or the not-for-profit corporation law for

the benefit of a state-operated campus of the state university of New

York or for the benefit of a community college operating under the

program of the state university of New York.
