the state of making these deductions and remitting the proceeds, as
determined by the Controller.
(c) A requirement that the agency to receive these contributions
shall pay, for deposit in the General Fund, the board's cost to

shall be determined by the board and may be appropriated in support
of the board as reimbursements to Item 8700-001-0001 of the annual
Budget Act.
(d) Provisions for standard amounts of deductions from which each
state officer or employee may select the contribution that he or she

more than one payroll deduction for charitable purposes to be in
effect at the same time.
(f) A provision authorizing the Controller to combine in his or
her records deductions for employee association dues, if authorized,
and charitable deductions, if authorized.
The board, in addition, may approve requests of any charitable
organization qualified as an exempt organization under Section 23701d
of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and paragraph (3) of subsection
(c) of Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which is not
an affiliated member beneficiary of the principal combined fund
drive to receive designated deductions from the principal fund drive.
The principal combined fund drive agency, any charitable
organization which is an affiliated member beneficiary of the
principal combined fund drive, and any charitable organization
approved by the board to receive designated deductions on the payroll
authorization form of the principal fund drive, shall certify under
penalty of perjury to the board that it is in compliance with the
Fair Employment and Housing Act, Part 2.8 (commencing with Section
12900), as a condition of receiving these designated deductions.
The principal combined fund drive shall obtain from the board the
list of approved nonaffiliated beneficiaries, eligible for designated
deductions in its approved drive area, and shall provide this
information to each employee at the time of the principal fund drive.
The principal combined drive agency shall provide a designation form
for the employee to indicate those amounts to be contributed to
affiliated and nonaffiliated beneficiaries. The designation form
shall consist of a copy for each of the following: (1) the employee,
(2) the employee's designated beneficiary agency, and (3) the
principal combined fund drive agency. The principal combined fund
drive agency shall pay the amount collected for the employee
designated beneficiary agency less the amount necessary to reimburse
the principal combined fund drive agency for fundraising and
administrative expenses. The fee charged for fundraising and
administrative cost reimbursement shall be determined by the board,
published in campaign literature and made available to the employee
during the solicitation process.
Nothing contained in this section shall preclude a principal fund
drive agency from giving a percentage of the undesignated funds to
charities which are not members of the agency handling the principal
drive, or honoring an employee's designated deduction to any
charitable organization.

13928. The board shall take any and all necessary steps to ensure
that all claims which have been approved by the board, and for which
there exists no legally available appropriation, are submitted for
legislative approval at least twice during each calendar year.
