From the funds provided in the Major Object of Expenditure "Personal Services: Salaries, Wages and Fringe Benefits," funds may be expended for the following purposes, in compliance with policies established by the State Personnel Board and any conditions placed on such expenditures:

(a) The components of the Variable Compensation Plan shall be maintained within the constraints of the funds provided herein.

(b) No funds provided herein shall be expended within the In-service (COLA), Longevity, Productivity, Upward Reallocation or Realignment components of the Variable Compensation Plan, except as specified herein.

(c) In those cases where the State Personnel Board determines that a bona fide staffing need exists, funds may be expended for upward reallocations and realignments, but only upon written certification by the agency director that adequate funds are available.

(d) Pursuant to policies established by the State Personnel Board, agency heads may, on a case by case basis and from within funds available, recommend equity salary adjustments. Such adjustments shall not be retroactive and may be made when an employee with greater or equal continuous state service experience and qualifications is being paid less than an employee working in the same job classification within the same agency.

It is the agency's responsibility to make certain that funds required to be appropriated for Personal Services for Fiscal Year 1998 do not exceed Fiscal Year 1997 funds appropriated for that purpose unless programs and/or positions are added to the agency's budget by the Mississippi Legislature. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, the Department of Mental Health shall have the authority to continue in Fiscal Year 1997 those reclassifications authorized by the State Personnel Board for Fiscal Year 1996.

Beginning July 1, 1996, to correct certain salary inequities, incumbents in PINs 885, 886, 878, 879 (Agency 0371), PIN 877 (Agency 0372), PIN 877 (Agency 0373), PIN 1 (Agency 0381), PIN 377 (Agency 0385), PIN 876 (Agency 0386), and PINs 1, 241 (Agency 0387) shall receive the full realignment recommended by the State Personnel Board in Fiscal Year 1996 or that portion of realignment not received due to statutory restrictions which are no longer applicable.

Any transfers or escalations shall be made in accordance with the terms, conditions, and procedures established by law.

No general funds authorized to be expended herein shall be used to replace federal funds and/or other special funds which are being used for salaries authorized under the provisions of this act and which are withdrawn and no longer available.

Of the general funds appropriated to the "Service Budget" in the category "Subsidies, Loans and Grants," the sum of Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) may be used for Special Olympics and choir and tumbling team consisting of students from the institutions included in this act.

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage.
