    AN ACT concerning the Secretary of State.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act is
amended by changing Sections 4 and 8 as follows:
 
    (5 ILCS 365/4)  (from Ch. 127, par. 354)
    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;
        (3) for payment to any labor organization designated by
    the employee;
        (4) for payment of dues to any association the

    of higher education by an employee of that institution;
        (7) for payment of parking fees at the underground
    facility located south of the William G. Stratton State
    Office Building in Springfield, the parking ramp located at
    401 South College Street, west of the William G. Stratton

    facilities located on the Urbana-Champaign campus of the
    University of Illinois;
        (8) for voluntary payment to the State of Illinois of

    College Savings Programs established pursuant to Section
    30-15.8a of the School Code;

    qualified by the State Comptroller under the requirements
    set forth in the Voluntary Payroll Deductions Act of 1983;
