Senator Clements moved to amend the bill on page ninety-nine, section seven-a, lines sixty-eight through seventy-nine, by striking out all of subsection (j) and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection, designated subsection (j), to read as follows:

(j) Employment for a full employment term equals one year of seniority, but an employee may not accrue more than one year of seniority during any given fiscal year. Employment for less than the full employment term shall be prorated. A random selection system established by the employees and approved by the county board shall be used to determine the priority if two or more employees accumulate identical seniority: Provided, That when two or more principals have accumulated identical seniority. All decisions on reductions in force shall be based on qualifications as set forth in a county board policy. Furthermore, for the purposes of this subsection and subsections (k) through (s) of this section, the word “qualifications” means the qualifications set forth in county board policy and only means qualifications set forth in subsection (b) to the extent those qualifications are set forth in county board policy:  Provided, That in defining the word “qualifications” in its policy, the county board:

(1) Shall consider including the criteria set forth in subsection (b) of this section; and

(2) May not include salary as one of the criteria in the definition.
