Section 3. Refund Procedure.
A non-member employee in a bargaining unit who files a timely written objection to expenditures made by NEA and the Corporation for activities of a political and ideological nature unrelated to
terms and conditions of employment shall be refunded the amount of agency fees which represent the employee's pro rata share of expenditures for such activities in accordance with the procedure established by the Corporation under Section 89-4, HRS, and other applicable law.
