HB 1718 - DIGEST

     Declares that the purpose of this act is to apply any salary adjustments made under RCW 41.06.152(2) for employees subject to chapter 41.06 RCW to employees of institutions of higher education who are in identical or substantially similar classifications and who have elected to be governed under chapter 41.56 RCW.  Inclusion of these employees in any such salary adjustments would help achieve the desired result of easing recruitment and retention problems.
