| (A) This subparagraph applies to a state employee only
if not employed by an institution of higher education. A state employee's
authorization of a deduction to a local campaign manager may designate
not more than nine eligible local charitable organizations to receive
the deducted amounts through the manager.
(B) This subparagraph applies to a state employee only
if employed by an institution of higher education. A state employee's
authorization of a deduction to a local campaign manager may designate
one or more eligible local charitable organizations to receive the
employee's deducted amounts through the manager. The employee may
designate not more than nine organizations if the employing institution
of higher education has not specified a higher maximum number of designations
that its employees may make. If the institution has specified a higher
maximum number, then the employee may designate not more than that
number.
(C) If a state employee's authorization of a deduction
to a local campaign manager designates only one eligible local charitable
organization, then the organization's designated initial distribution
amount with respect to the employee is equal to the employee's entire
deduction to the local campaign manager.
(D) If a state employee's authorization of a deduction
to a local campaign manager designates more than one eligible local
charitable organization, then the designation is valid only if it
specifies the designated initial distribution amount for each organization.
(E) If an eligible local charitable organization that
a state employee designates under subparagraph (A) or (B) of this
paragraph is a federation or fund, then the federation or fund shall
distribute the deducted amounts it receives to its affiliated eligible
charitable organizations according to its policy.
(F) This subparagraph applies if a state employee's
authorization of a deduction to a local campaign manager does not
contain a valid designation. The undesignated initial distribution
amounts with respect to the employee for eligible local charitable
organizations and statewide federations or funds shall be determined
according to this subparagraph.
(i) Only an eligible local charitable organization
that has been approved to participate in the local campaign area may
have an undesignated initial distribution amount. Only a statewide
federation or fund to which state employees in the local campaign
area have authorized deductions may have an undesignated initial distribution
amount.
(ii) The undesignated initial distribution amount for
an eligible local charitable organization is equal to the distribution
percentage for the organization multiplied by the amount of the employee's
deduction authorization to the local campaign manager. The distribution
percentage is equal to the organization's total designated initial
distribution amount as determined or specified under subparagraphs
(C) and (D) of this paragraph for all state employees in the local
campaign area divided by the sum of:
(I) the total designated initial distribution amount
for all eligible local charitable organizations in the local campaign
area as determined or specified under subparagraphs (C) and (D) of
this paragraph; and
(II) the total amount of deductions authorized to statewide
federations or funds by state employees in the local campaign area.
(iii) The undesignated initial distribution amount
for a statewide federation or fund is equal to the distribution percentage
for the federation or fund multiplied by the amount of the employee's
deduction authorization to the local campaign manager. The distribution
percentage is equal to the total amount of deductions authorized to
the federation or fund by state employees in the local campaign area
divided by the sum of:
(I) the total designated initial distribution amount
for all eligible local charitable organizations in the local campaign
area as determined or specified under subparagraphs (C) and (D) of
this paragraph; and
(II) the total amount of deductions authorized to statewide
federations or funds by state employees in the local campaign area.
(G) The following example illustrates the calculation
of undesignated initial distribution amounts according to subparagraph
(F) of this paragraph.
(i) The following assumptions apply in this example.
(I) State employees in the Austin local campaign area
have authorized $15,000 in deductions to the Austin local campaign
manager. Of that amount, state employees have designated $10,000 for
distribution to the following eligible local charitable organizations.
Organization 1 has been designated to receive $5,000. Organization
2 has been designated to receive $3,000. And Organization 3 has been
designated to receive $2,000.
(II) Of the $15,000 in authorized deductions to the
Austin local campaign manager, $5,000 is undesignated.
(III) State employees in the Austin local campaign
area have authorized total deductions of $10,000 to the following
statewide federations or funds. Organizations 4 and 5 have each been
authorized to receive $5,000.
(ii) The calculation of undesignated initial distribution
amounts in this subparagraph relates only to the $5,000 in undesignated
deductions to the Austin local campaign manager. This is because an
eligible local charitable organization or a statewide federation or
fund has an undesignated initial distribution amount only with respect
to undesignated deductions.
(iii) The first step is to determine the designated
initial distribution amount for each eligible local charitable organization
listed in clause (i)(I) of this subparagraph. That amount for each
organization is the total amount of deductions that state employees
have designated to the organization. Therefore, the designated initial
distribution amount for Organization 1 is $5,000, Organization 2 is
$3,000, and Organization 3 is $2,000.
(iv) The second step is to determine the distribution
percentage for each eligible local charitable organization listed
in clause (i)(I) of this subparagraph. The distribution percentage
must be determined according to subparagraph (F)(ii) of this paragraph.
The distribution percentage for each organization is as follows:
(I) Organization 1--25%;
(II) Organization 2--15%;
(III) Organization 3--10%.
(v) The third step is to determine the distribution
percentage for each statewide federation or fund listed in clause
(i)(III) of this subparagraph. The distribution percentage must be
determined according to subparagraph (F)(iii) of this paragraph. The
distribution percentage for each federation or fund is as follows:
(I) Organization 4--25%;
(II) Organization 5--25%.
(vi) The fourth step is to determine the undesignated
initial distribution amount for each eligible local charitable organization
listed in clause (i)(I) of this subparagraph. The amount must be determined
by multiplying the organization's distribution percentage by the amount
of undesignated deductions to the Austin local campaign manager. The
amount for each organization is as follows:
(I) Organization 1--$1,250;
(II) Organization 2--$750;
(III) Organization 3--$500.
(vii) The fifth and final step is to determine the
undesignated initial distribution amount for each statewide federation
or fund listed in clause (i)(III) of this subparagraph. The amount
must be determined by multiplying the federation or fund's distribution
percentage by the amount of undesignated deductions to the Austin
local campaign manager. The amount for each organization is as follows:
(I) Organization 4--$1,250;
(II) Organization 5--$1,250.
(H) Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, a local
campaign manager shall distribute deducted amounts to an eligible
local charitable organization or a statewide federation or fund according
to the percentage method required by subsection (j) of this section.
A designated or undesignated initial distribution amount specified
or determined under this paragraph is only the starting point for
calculating the amount to be distributed.
(2) Receiving deducted amounts through statewide federations
or funds.
(A) This subparagraph applies to a state employee only
if not employed by an institution of higher education. A state employee's
authorization of a deduction to a statewide federation or fund may
designate not more than nine eligible charitable organizations to
receive the deducted amounts through the federation or fund.
