Substitute offered

To replace the previous version of the bill with one that still requires existing employees to be given all their same benefits, seniority, salary, etc., but also inserts language that nothing in the statute would require the administrative entity created under an intergovernment consolidated service agreement to pay to employees the highest wages and benefits previously paid to any of the employees, or to their preexisting union bargaining units.
The substitute passed by voice vote
