established in the employee's regular employment county for
asbestos removal and an additional thirty dollars per each day

The additional pay for asbestos removal and related duties shall

Environmental Protection Act approved training program and be
licensed. The employer shall provide all necessary protective
equipment and maintain all records required by the Environmental
Protection Act.
(10) For the purpose of qualifying for additional pay as
provided in section eight, article five of this chapter, an aide
shall be considered to be exercising the authority of a
supervisory aide and control over pupils if the aide is required
to supervise, control, direct, monitor, escort or render service

for service personnel.

employee's state minimum salary times the percentage of increase
in the consumer price index as published by the United States
Department of Labor for the next preceding year or two percent,
whichever percentage shall be the greater.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to grant an annual pay
increase for three years to all classroom teachers, with those
teachers not holding a master's degree to receive $2,000 per
year and those holding a master's degree to receive $3,000 per
year, and, thereafter, to annually increase teachers' salaries
based upon the consumer price index or two percent, whichever is

those service personnel with less than twenty years service in
the amount of $1,000 and for those employees with twenty or more

consumer price index or two percent, whichever is the greater.
