3584
. (a) Notwithstanding Section 3583.5, an employee of the
California State University or the University of California, other
than faculty of the University of California who are eligible for
membership in the Academic Senate, who is a member of a bona fide
religion, body, or sect that has historically held conscientious
objections to joining or financially supporting public employee
organizations, shall not be required to join or financially support
any public employee organization as a condition of employment. An
employee to which this subdivision is applicable may be required, in
lieu of periodic dues, initiation fees, or agency shop fees, to pay
sums equal to the amount of the fair share service fee determined
pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 3583.5 to a nonreligious,
nonlabor charitable fund exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code, chosen by the employee from a list of
at least three of these funds designated by the employer and the
exclusive representative or, if the employer and exclusive
representative fail to designate funds, chosen by the employee. Proof
of these payments shall be made on a monthly basis to the employer
as a condition of continued exemption from the requirement of
financial support of the exclusive representative.
(b) Every recognized or certified employee organization that has
an agency shop provision under this section shall keep an adequate
itemized record of its financial transactions, and shall make
available annually, to the employer and to the employees who are
members of the organization, within 60 days after the end of its
fiscal year, a detailed written financial report thereof in the form
of a balance sheet and an operating statement, certified as to
accuracy by the president and treasurer or comparable officers. An
employee organization covering employees governed under this chapter
and required to file financial reports under the federal
Labor-Management Disclosure Act of 1959 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 401 et seq.)
, or required to file financial reports under Section 3546.5, may
satisfy the financial reporting requirements of this section by
providing the employer with a copy of those financial reports.
