requirements in section 89-10; and
(2) [If repricing has not been

of procedures to periodically review, at least once in five years, unless
otherwise agreed to by the parties, the repricing of classes within the
bargaining unit. The repricing of
classes based on the results of the periodic review shall be at the discretion
of the employer. Any appropriations
required to implement the repricing actions that are made at the employer's
discretion shall not be construed as cost items.] If the employer fails to timely initiate a
negotiation in compliance with paragraph (1) or the parties cannot reach an
agreement within ninety days after the exclusive representative's written
request to negotiate or by January 31 of a year in which the agreement is due
to expire, whichever is earlier, an impasse exists and the impasse procedures

of classes within a bargaining unit pursuant to section 89-9(f)(1) or the
parties' failure to reach an agreement on repricing within the timeframe set
forth in section 89-9(f)(2) shall constitute an impasse, to which the impasse
procedures in this section shall apply. The
parties may mutually agree on an impasse procedure, but if the procedure
culminates in an arbitration decision, the decision shall be pursuant to
subsection (f)."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
