Enrolled Bill Summary

The 73rd Legislature established a program to allow contributions to charitable organizations by state employees through a payroll deduction plan. House Bill 2491 amends the Government Code to allow an exemption for public junior colleges whose governing boards decide against participation in the state program.

An employee of a public junior college that elects not to participate in the state employee charitable contribution program may authorize a payroll deduction for a charitable contribution as provided by governing board policy.
