The Local Employee Committee (LEC), composed of 5 to 10 local state employees and the local chair, is responsible for oversight of the local SECC to ensure that all campaign activities are conducted in accordance with state law and that they fairly and equitably promote unified solicitation on behalf of all participants.

Grievances shall be sent to the State Policy Committee by delivery to the address of the State Campaign Manager. (2)The aggrieved party shall cooperate with the SPC to investigate the grievance. The decision of the SPC shall be final. (3)Any grievance submitted to the SPC may be referred to the appropriate LEC for review and action if the grievance concerns local issues.
