 19        SECTION  5.  FEDERAL  FUND  CARRYOVER. It is the intent of the Legislature

 31    year 2007. The Interagency Substance Abuse Committee  and  the  Department  of
 32    Health and Welfare are further directed to budget and request funding for sub-
 33    stance  abuse  treatment  based  on  eligible individual caseload; taking into
 34    account current treatment service capacity within the provider  community  and

 41    ute the funding for employee compensation based on merit as follows:

                                       3

 10        SECTION 9.  SALARY SAVINGS. The Department of Health and Welfare is hereby
 11    directed to allocate salary savings, based  on  performance,  to  provide  for
 12    employee  salary  needs before other operational budget priorities are consid-
 13    ered. Where applicable, employees whose salaries are  below  the  midpoint  of
 14    their  pay  grade or occupational groups with significant turnover rates shall
 15    be considered first in the order of salary savings distributions.
