ARTICLE 5. SALARY INCREASE FOR STATE EMPLOYEES.

§5-5-5. Granting salary increases based on housing costs.
Effective for the fiscal year beginning the first day of July, two thousand one, every eligible employee with three or more years of service shall receive an annual salary increase equal to two percent of the employees' regular salary, if that employee resides
in a county where residential home prices are at least ten percent above the statewide average for residential homes. Every eligible employee with three or more years of service shall receive an annual salary increase equal to four percent of the employees' regular salary, if that employee resides in a county where residential home prices are at least twenty percent above the statewide average for residential homes. These incremental increases shall be in addition to any across-the-board, cost-of-living or percentage salary increases which may be granted in any fiscal year by the Legislature. And, every eligible employee with three or more years of service shall receive an annual salary increase equal to six percent of the employees' regular salary, if that employee resides in a county where residential home prices are at least thirty percent above the statewide average for residential homes. If an eligible employee with three or more years of service resides in a county where residential home prices are more than thirty percent above the statewide average for residential homes, the employee shall receive an annual salary increase of two percent of the employee's regular salary for every ten percent that residential home prices in that employee's county exceed the statewide average for residential homes.

NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to
provide salary increases for state employees based upon residential housing costs. The employee shall receive an annual salary increase of two percent of the employee's regular salary for every ten percent that residential home prices in that employee's county exceed the statewide average for residential homes.

This section is new; therefore, strike-throughs and underscoring have been omitted.
