Section 110-B. Deduction of dues and insurance premiums from benefits of certain retired members

Notwithstanding any other provision of  law  to
  the  contrary  and subject to the provisions of a collective negotiating
  agreement between the state and an  employee  organization  representing
  employees  whose  positions are in collective negotiating units designed
  as  the  administrative  services  unit,  operational   services   unit,
  institutional  services  unit  or division of military and naval affairs
  unit established pursuant to article fourteen of the civil service  law,
  the  comptroller  is  hereby  authorized  to  deduct from the retirement
  allowance of any retired member of such negotiating units who retired on
  or after January first,  nineteen  hundred  eighty-seven  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 organization  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  Any  such written authorization may be withdrawn by such retired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-merchandized 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. Notwithstanding any other
  provision of law to the contrary, a retired member shall have the right,
  at any time after his or her retirement, to execute and file a deduction
  authorization card with the retirement system authorizing the payment of
  voluntary contributions  to  the  political  committee,  as  defined  in
  section   14-100   of  the  election  law,  of  such  member's  employee
  organization, provided such  organization  is  certified  or  recognized
  pursuant   to   article  fourteen  of  the  civil  service  law  as  the
  representative of all employees in the negotiation unit  in  which  such
  member  was  then  employed. Such authorization shall continue in effect
  until revoked in writing by such member. The comptroller shall determine
  the cost of administering deductions for voluntary contributions to  the
  political  committee  and  the cost incurred by the retirement system in
  administering such contributions shall be paid from  the  funds  of  the
  political committee.
