Sec. 4. Authorization of withholding. An employee or annuitant may authorize the withholding of a portion of his salary, wages, or annuity for any one or more of the following purposes:

(1) for purchase of United States Savings Bonds;

(2) for payment of premiums on life or accident and health insurance as defined in Section 4 of the "Illinois Insurance Code", approved June 29, 1937, as amended, and for payment of premiums on policies of automobile insurance as defined in Section 143.13 of the "Illinois Insurance Code", as amended, and the personal multiperil coverages commonly known as homeowner's insurance. However, no portion of salaries, wages or annuities may be withheld to pay premiums on automobile, homeowner's, life or accident and health insurance policies issued by any one insurance company or insurance service company unless a minimum of 100 employees or annuitants insured by that company authorize the withholding by an Office within 6 months after such withholding begins. If such minimum is not satisfied the Office may discontinue withholding for such company. For any insurance company or insurance service company which has not previously had withholding, the Office may allow withholding for premiums, where less than 100 policies have been written, to cover a probationary period. An insurance company which has discontinued withholding may reinstate it upon presentation of facts indicating new management or re-organization satisfactory to the Office;

(14) for voluntary payment as part of the Illinois Gives Initiative under Section 26 of the State Comptroller Act; or .
