 1-8         The Conference Committee Report provides appropriations for a
 1-9         $100 per month salary increase in the first year of the
1-10         biennium for employees of state agencies and for non-faculty
1-11         employees of institutions of higher education.  The salary
1-12         increase includes county extension agents and employees of
1-13         health science institutions paid through interagency contract
1-14         to provide services to inmates of correctional facilities.
1-15         Salaries are increased for law enforcement officers classified
1-16         under Salary Schedule C of Article IX through separate salary
1-17         schedule adjustments.  Contingent on the availability of
1-18         additional revenues, appropriations are provided in the second
1-19         year of the biennium for a 3% salary increase for faculty at
1-20         institutions of higher education.  This salary increase
1-21         includes faculty at general academic institutions, technical
1-22         colleges, service agencies, and health science institutions.

1-24         For each general academic institution, service agency, health
 2-1         center, health science center, technical college, and system
 2-2         office, the Conference Committee Report combines all strategy
 2-3         appropriations into one single appropriation with the
 2-4         individual strategies shown, for information only, as the first
 2-5         rider in the institution's bill pattern.  This format change
 2-6         does not affect the amount of appropriations to any institution
 2-7         or the method of financing any institution's appropriations.
