 CHAIRMAN MILLER brought  SB 1003  (PUB.EMPLOYEES                              
 PAY/BENEFITS/CONTRACTS) before the committee as the first order of            
 business.                                                                     
                                                                               
 SENATOR DUNCAN inquired if the legislation incorporates all the               
 provisions that were in CSSB 152(FIN) am (PUB. EMPLOYEE                       
 PAY/BENEFITS/CONTRACTS/RIP), which passed during the regular                  
 session.  CHAIRMAN MILLER acknowledged that it does with the                  
 exception of taking out the one health benefit requiring the                  
 retiree to pay one-half of the dependent coverage for their spouse            
 and replaces it with a 10-year vesting provision.
