EFFECT:   Limits binding interest arbitration to matters related to terms and conditions of employment, not wages or hours.  Modifies the items that an arbitration panel must take into consideration to:  (1) provide for consideration of the Department of Corrections' financial ability to pay for provisions of an agreement, rather than compensation and benefit provisions; (2) remove hours as an item that an arbitration panel may compare with like employers; and (3) delete the item related to overall compensation presently received.
