HB432 expands and tightens Alabama state employee salary deductions by allowing new deduction types (consumer goods or financial instruments), imposing a monthly cap and admin fee, with changes effective June 1, 2024.

What This Bill Does

The bill lets the State Comptroller set statewide policies to deduct from state employees’ salaries for groups with at least 200 participants, including membership dues, voluntary contributions, insurance premiums, and now consumer goods or financial instruments offered through associations. Deductions that were already being made as of April 23, 1985 can continue. Deductions must occur at least monthly and be remitted to the specified company or organization, and an employee can terminate deductions with two months’ written notice. Deductions cannot exceed $300 per month for post-tax withholdings, and the Comptroller may charge an administration fee up to 1% of the total deduction collected.
