Notwithstanding any other provision of  law  to   the  contrary  and subject to the provisions of a collective negotiating   agreement between the state and an  employee  organization  representing   employees  whose  positions are in collective negotiating units designed   as  the  administrative  services  unit,  operational   services   unit,   institutional  services  unit  or division of military and naval affairs   unit established pursuant to article fourteen of the civil service  law,   the  comptroller  is  hereby  authorized  to  deduct from the retirement   allowance of any retired member of such negotiating units who retired on   or after January first,  nineteen  hundred  eighty-seven  an  amount  of   membership  dues as the retired member may specify in writing filed with   the comptroller for the payment of such employee organization membership   dues and premiums for employee organization  sponsored  group  insurance   plans.  Any  such written authorization may be withdrawn by such retired   member at any time upon filing written notice of  such  withdrawal  with   the  comptroller.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  provisions  of  this   section,  the  employee  organization  certified,  pursuant  to  article   fourteen   of  the  civil  service  law,  to  represent  the  collective   negotiating unit from which the  member  retired  shall  have  exclusive   payroll  deduction  of  membership  dues  and premiums for insurance and   mass-merchandized automobile  and  homeowners'  insurance  policies  for   retired members of such collective negotiating unit. Deductions for such   dues  and  premiums  shall  not  be  authorized  for  any other employee   organization or  group  except  by  express  written  approval  of  such   appropriate  certified  employee organization. Notwithstanding any other   provision of law to the contrary, a retired member shall have the right,   at any time after his or her retirement, to execute and file a deduction   authorization card with the retirement system authorizing the payment of   voluntary contributions  to  the  political  committee,  as  defined  in   section   14-100   of  the  election  law,  of  such  member's  employee   organization, provided such  organization  is  certified  or  recognized   pursuant   to   article  fourteen  of  the  civil  service  law  as  the   representative of all employees in the negotiation unit  in  which  such   member  was  then  employed. Such authorization shall continue in effect   until revoked in writing by such member. The comptroller shall determine   the cost of administering deductions for voluntary contributions to  the   political  committee  and  the cost incurred by the retirement system in   administering such contributions shall be paid from  the  funds  of  the   political committee.
