Title 45, Chapter 20, Section 54
( 45-20-54)
(a) No person shall disclose to any other person names of
contributors or the amounts or designations of authorized charitable
deductions of another, except as is necessary to accomplish the
purpose of this article or as otherwise authorized in writing by the
person whose contributions are sought to be disclosed. This
prohibition against disclosure shall not, however, bar appropriate
state or federal tax authorities from access necessary to establish
the tax status of charitable organizations receiving these funds. (b) No person shall pressure, coerce, or in any way intimidate any
employee to have charitable deductions made from the employee's
salary or with reference to the amount of deductions to be made.
Each agency shall review any violations or alleged violations of
this subsection and assure that appropriate action is taken. Such
action may include, without being limited to, discharge from
employment, consistent with policies of the agency and with rules
and regulations of the board. |
