(d) Effective the first day of July, two thousand eight, the
incremental increases prescribed in subsection (c) of this section
are included as a part of the 2008-09 State Minimum Salary
Schedule, therefore, the additional incremental increases
prescribed in said subsection are discontinued.

thousand nine and on the first day of July, two thousand ten, an
annual cost-of-living supplement which is equal to the percentage
increase in the consumer price index as published by the United

cost-of-living increase for the 2006 and 2007 years to certain
annuitants under the Teachers' Retirement System. The bill also
provides that teachers receive a similar cost of living increase in
the years 2009 and 2010. The supplement for both is equal to the
percentage increase in the consumer price index.
