 7    employ a significant labor force which engages in work to further  the  inter-

 9        WHEREAS, in the past, important efforts have been made to assure that sal-

11    sector in order to maintain a quality work force; and
12        WHEREAS, in addition to salary, employees  receive  significant  benefits,
13    such  as health insurance and retirement benefits, which are provided at least
14    in part, at the expense of the government; and
15        WHEREAS, it is incumbent upon the Legislature to continually assess  these
16    nonsalary benefits to assure that they are adequately considered in establish-

24    benefit programs administered by the state, to include those employees in  the
25    study.  The  Legislative Council shall determine the number of legislators and

28    parties who are not members of the Legislature.
