§ 410-c. Deduction of dues and insurance premiums from benefits of
certain retired members enrolled in the New York state and local police
and fire retirement system. Notwithstanding any other provision of law
to the contrary, the comptroller is hereby authorized to deduct from the
retirement allowance of any retired member enrolled in the New York
state and local police and fire retirement system 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 Any such written authorization may be withdrawn by such retired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.
