§ 40-6.6-8. Duty to represent all CCAP family child care providers fairly; service charge and deductions. (a) A provider organization certified as the provider representative shall represent all CCAP family child care providers in the state fairly and without discrimination, without regard to whether or not the CCAP family child care providers are members of the provider organization.

(b) Each CCAP family child care provider may choose whether to be a member of the provider organization; provided, however, that after a first contract is ratified, the provider representative shall be authorized to collect from non-member CCAP family child care providers a service charge as a contribution toward the negotiation and administration of the written contract. The service charge shall not exceed the regular dues paid by CCAP family child care providers who are members of the provider representative. The state shall deduct the service charge, membership dues, and any voluntary deductions authorized by individual CCAP family child care providers, from the payments to CCAP family child care providers.
