A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ADJUST THE SALARIES OF WILDLIFE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OF THE WILDLIFE RESOURCES COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE SALARY INEQUITY WITH THE OFFICERS OF OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The Office of State Personnel shall adjust the salaries of Wildlife Enforcement Officers of the Wildlife Resources Commission so that the average salary of Wildlife Enforcement Officers in any salary classification level is the same as the average salary of the members of the State Highway Patrol whose positions are classified at the same salary classification level.  The salary of a Wildlife Enforcement Officer shall be individually adjusted based upon the current salary of the officer, the job classification title and salary level of the position in which the officer is employed, and the length of law enforcement service of the officer.  No officer shall receive a salary adjustment if the officer's most recent performance appraisal is below satisfactory, and no officer's salary shall be raised above the maximum of the range for the position in which the officer is employed.
Section 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1999.
