LAC 4:III.102. Deduction Rule Authority/Applicability

A. OSUP is responsible for the administration of the rules governing state employee payroll deductions. Products that are authorized through OSUP are for all state employees and all state agencies of the executive branch of state government as defined under R.S. 36:4. There are two exceptions to this. 1. Governing boards of higher education facilities have the authority to approve additional products or remove any product per the boards' established policies. a. Vendors approved by governing boards must follow the governing boards policy and procedures for renewal and new application submission. b. Each governing board shall provide a report relative to vendors currently approved for deductions within each system as well as any additional information as requested by OSUP. 2. Intra-agency deductions approved by OSUP are only approved for the agency requesting the deduction and not statewide. B. The three classifications of vendors covered by this rule are: 1. statutory vendors―applicable Sections of this rule are §122, 131 and 137; 2. intra-agency vendors―applicable Sections of this rule are §§122, 131 and 137; and 3. statewide vendors―applicable Sections of this rule are §§106, 112, 114, 119, 131 and 137. Statewide vendor applications are reviewed and approved by the EPBC.
