(a) Each local campaign manager is required to submit
a budget to the state campaign manager by the deadline set forth by
the state campaign manager, and by using the required budget template.
If the SPC has appointed an LEC to the local area, the budget must
be approved by the LEC before it is submitted to the SPC, who has
final approval of local budgets.
(b) If the state campaign manager determines that the
projected combined expenses of the state campaign manager and each
local campaign manager, and the total of all fees exceeds 10% of the
total amount collected in the state employee charitable campaign,
the state campaign manager will return the budgets to some or all
local campaign managers, and may impose an across-the-board percentage
budget reduction to some or all local campaign managers so as to result
in a combined campaign fee that does not exceed 10% of the total amount
of contributions collected in the state employee charitable campaign
that same year. Affected local areas will re-submit their proposed
budgets with the reduced campaign fee.
(c) The SCM will apply and LECs and LCMs must comply
with the procedures contained in §326.5 of this title (relating
to Campaign Budget) to implement the budget changes summarized in
subsection (b) of this section.
