§ 410-b. Deduction of dues and insurance premiums from benefits of

certain retired members of the division of state police.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the

comptroller is hereby authorized to deduct from the retirement allowance

of any retired member of the division of state police an amount of

membership dues as the retired member may specify in writing filed with

the comptroller for the payment of such employee organization membership

dues and premiums for employee organizations sponsored group insurance

plans. Any such written authorization may be withdrawn by such retired

member at any time upon filing written notice of such withdrawal with

the comptroller. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this

section, the employee organization certified, pursuant to article

fourteen of the civil service law, to represent the collective

negotiating unit from which the member retired, shall have exclusive

payroll deduction of membership dues and premiums for insurance and

mass-merchandised automobile and homeowners' insurance policies for

retired members of such collective negotiating unit. Deductions for such

dues and premiums shall not be authorized for any other employee

organization or group except by express written approval of such

appropriate certified employee organization.
