11 2 officers and employees of the state board of regents, will
11 3 receive a 3 percent increase with the pay period beginning
11 4 June 29, 1998. These state employees may also receive step
11 5 increases.
11 6 The state board of regents officers and employees not under
11 7 collective bargaining receive similar pay increases to the
11 8 regents contract employees.
11 9 The bill funds the salary adjustments for each fiscal year.
11 10 The bill also directs the executive council to transfer an
11 11 amount determined by the department of management for the
11 12 insurance benefit year ending in 1999 of health insurance
11 13 surplus account funds to reduce state employee health
11 14 insurance premium costs.
11 15 The bill also provides a meal allowance to noncontract,
