AS INTRODUCED

An Act relating to schools; providing for an increase in compensation for school support employees; providing for codification; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA:
SECTION 1.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 18-114.15 of Title 70, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
A.  Each full-time school support employee shall receive a one-time pay increase equivalent to a One Thousand Five Hundred Dollar ($1,500.00) increase in compensation, exclusive of any one-time stipend or over-time payments.  This amount shall be prorated for part-time employees.  For purposes of this section, the phrase "full-time school support employee" shall have the same meaning as it does under Section 26-103 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
B.  A school district shall not lower the hours of any support employee for the purpose of preventing qualification for or to offset the increase in compensation required by this section.  A school district shall not require a support employee to work more than the hours required to qualify as a full-time employee under Section 26-103 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes to be eligible for the full amount of the increase in compensation required by this section.
SECTION 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 2013.
SECTION 3.  It being immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, by reason whereof this act shall take effect and be in full force from and after its passage and approval.
