Conscientious Objectors. An employee whose religious beliefs are opposed to joining or financially supporting any collective bargaining organization shall not be required to meet the above service fee obligations but shall pay in lieu thereof an amount equal to the service fee to any charitable organization exempt from taxation under § 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify for the religious exemption, the employee must obtain from AFSCME a Declaration of Bona Fide Religious Objection and Selection of Charitable Organization form. The employee must submit the completed form to both AFSCME and the Department of Budget and Management, within thirty (30) days of receipt of annual notice described in ¶ C above. It shall be the obligation of a conscientious objector to furnish, monthly, to AFSCME and to the Department of Budget and Management, written proof that charitable contributions contemplated hereby have actually been made and that said employee is not subject to a service fee involuntary deduction. Proof of payment may be in the form of original receipt issued by such organization, by credit card statement or cancelled check. Failure to provide proof of contributions to a charitable organization shall constitute employee’s voluntary revocation of his/her status as a conscientious objector and involuntary deduction of the service fee shall commence. An employee utilizing the religious exemption status and who requests AFSCME representation services shall be subject to charges by AFSCME for the reasonable cost of such representation.
