The legislative body of each county is authorized to appropriate funds for the purpose of defraying the cost of dues to associations of particular county officeholders or associations made up of groups of county officeholders.
If the county legislative body of a county appropriates funds for the dues in such association for the benefit of the county mayor, county highway superintendent or members of the county legislative body, then such an appropriation sufficient to pay the cost of the annual association dues in an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100) of the assessor of property, county clerk, state court clerks, sheriff, register of deeds and trustee in at least one (1) such association, as designated by the officeholder, shall be likewise appropriated by the county legislative body, upon the request of the officials. The county legislative body is authorized to appropriate sufficient amounts in excess of one hundred dollars ($100) to pay such association dues in the discretion of the county legislative body.
No such funds appropriated shall be used for lobbying activities as defined in § 3-6-102, for the purpose of influencing legislative action relative to benefits or salaries of the association's members.
