    On page 3, line 9, after "persons" strike "who are employed by a higher education institution and"

 

    On page 4, line 18, after "means" strike "institutional"

 

    On page 4, line 20, after "divisions" strike "who hold concurrent faculty appointment with rank" and insert "who either hold concurrent faculty appointment with rank, or are employed by the state board for community and technical colleges or the higher education coordinating board"

 

    On page 8, line 5, after "salary." insert "The state board for community and technical colleges and the higher education coordinating board are exempt from the provisions of this subsection (2)."

 

 

 

    EFFECT:   Permits the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) and the Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB) to continue to offer the Higher Education Retirement Plan (HERP) Supplemental Benefits to employees who entered the HERP prior to July 1, 2011, by removing a restriction limiting this to only higher education institutions.

 

Changes the definition of "senior academic administrator" by removing a reference to "institutional" administrators, permitting senior administrators at the SBCTC and the HECB to participate as they are not employed by higher education institutions, and eliminates the requirement that new senior academic administrators hold concurrent faculty appointment with rank in order to be enrolled in the HERP if employed by the SBCTC or the HECB.
