(2) There is a need to provide a single convenient channel through which public employees may support charitable fund-raising federations and agencies of their choice while minimizing workplace disruption and administrative cost to Alabama taxpayers;
(3) It is necessary to establish a system to plan and implement one annual charitable fund-raising campaign among state employees in order to ensure that the funds will be collected and distributed in a responsible manner; and
(4) It is the policy of the state to permit time in the working day during the prescribed campaign period sufficient for volunteers to participate in the state campaign, with the approval of the department heads.
