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

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withdrawn by such employee at any time by filing written notice of such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

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.

other political subdivision of the state is hereby authorized to deduct
from the salary of any employee of such municipality or political

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
