Initiative: Provides funding to offset the deallocation made in Public Law 2007, chapter 329, Part C, section 2 to the statewide account for health insurance.

Salary Plan 0305
Initiative: Provides funding to correct the deallocation in the Highway Fund Salary Plan program that was made in error in Public Law 2007, chapter 452. The intent of the legislation was to allocate funds to cover the additional costs of health insurance to the State resulting from the requirement to provide coverage for hearing aids for persons 18 years of age and under. This request is offset by the lapsing of $6,000 from the Highway Fund Salary Plan program, as reflected in Part F of this Act.
