Current state law mandates that the state policy committee and local
employee committees select federated community campaign organization to
serve as the state campaign manager and local campaign managers
respectively.

employee committees to select a charitable organization to serve as state
campaign manager and local campaign managers if no federated community
campaign organization applies for the position.

additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency or
institution.
