  1  8 applicable certified collective bargaining
  1  9 representative for the affected employees, shall
  1 10 jointly conduct a study concerning staffing

  1 13 and include findings in a joint report concerning the
  1 14 impact of current staffing authorizations at
  1 15 department of corrections' institutions on affected
  1 16 employees and on the ability of the institutions to
  1 17 efficiently operate, including, but not limited to,
  1 18 examination of the use of overtime by employees at the
  1 19 institutions and the ability of affected employees to
  1 20 utilize accrued leave.  In addition, the study
  1 21 participants shall consider and include a
  1 22 recommendation in the joint report concerning what
  1 23 level of staffing at department of corrections'
  1 24 institutions would provide adequate staffing at the
  1 25 institutions based on the needs of both the
  1 26 institutions and the affected employees.  In making a
  1 27 recommendation concerning staffing levels, the study
  1 28 participants shall consider what level of staffing at
  1 29 the institutions would allow for a reasonable
  1 30 reduction in the use of overtime by employees and
  1 31 would allow affected employees to reasonably utilize
  1 32 their accrued leave.  In addition, the study
  1 33 participants shall consider and make findings
  1 34 concerning the possible costs, and possible cost
  1 35 savings, for establishing the staffing levels
  1 36 recommended.  The study participants shall submit a
  1 37 joint report, concerning their findings and
  1 38 recommendations, to the general assembly by January 1,
  1 39 2001."
