	(d) This subsection applies only to a current employee of a 
school district who is entitled to the minimum salary under Section 
21.402, who was employed by that district during the 2002-2003 
school year, and who received funds under Article 3.50-8, Insurance 
Code, during the 2002-2003 school year.  For the 2003-2004 school 
year, a school district shall ensure that each employee to whom this 
subsection applies and who is employed by the district receives the 
difference, if any, between $1,000 and the amount per employee that 
the district receives under other law for purposes of Article 
3.50-8, Insurance Code, for employees to whom this subsection 
applies.  A district employee may not bring a cause of action 
against a district under this subsection on the basis of the amount 
paid to the employee under this subsection if the employee's total 
salary for the 2003-2004 school year, including amounts paid for 
purposes of Article 3.50-8, Insurance Code, is equal to or greater 
than the employee's base salary for the 2002-2003 school year, 
including any career ladder supplement, plus any money paid to or 
used on behalf of the employee under Section 3.50-8, Insurance 
Code.
