     Section 6.  Section 2-18-703, MCA, is amended to read:

     "2-18-703.  Contributions. (1) Each agency, as defined in 2-18-601, shall contribute the amount specified in this section towards toward the group benefits cost.

     (2)  For employees defined in 2-18-701 and for members of the legislature, the employer contribution for group benefits is $270 $295 a month for the period from July 1999 2001 through December 1999 2001, $285 $325 a month for the period from January 2000 2002 through December 2000 2002, and $295 $366 a month for January 2001 2003 and for each succeeding month. For employees of the Montana university system, the employer contribution for group benefits is $285 $325 a month for the period from July 1999 2001 through June 2000 2002 and $295 $366 a month for the period from July 2000 2002 through June 2001 2003 and for each succeeding month. When a state employee is terminated to achieve a reduction in force, the continuation of contributions for group benefits beyond the termination date is subject to negotiation under 39-31-305. Permanent part-time, seasonal part-time, and temporary part-time employees who are regularly scheduled to work less than 20 hours a week are not eligible for the group benefit contribution. An employee who elects not to be covered by a state-sponsored group benefit plan may not receive the state contribution. A portion of the employer contribution for group benefits may be applied to an employee's costs for participation in Part B of medicare under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, as amended, if the state group benefit plan is the secondary payer and medicare the primary payer.

     (3)  For employees of elementary and high school districts and of local government units, the employer's premium contributions may exceed but may not be less than $10 a month.

     (4)  Unused employer contributions for any state employee must be transferred to an account established for this purpose by the department of administration and upon transfer may be used to offset losses occurring to the group of which the employee is eligible to be a member.

     (5)  Unused employer contributions for any government employee may be transferred to an account established for this purpose by a self-insured government and upon transfer may be used to offset losses occurring to the group of which the employee is eligible to be a member or to increase the reserves of the group.

     (6)  The laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of marital status in Title 49 do not prohibit bona fide group insurance plans from providing greater or additional contributions for insurance benefits to employees with dependents than to employees without dependents or with fewer dependents."



     Section 7.  Section 5-2-301, MCA, is amended to read:

     "5-2-301.  Compensation and expenses for members while in session. (1) Legislators are entitled to a salary commensurate to that of the daily rate of an entry grade 10 classified state employee in effect when the regular session of the legislature in which they serve is convened under 5-2-103 for those days during which the legislature is in session. The president of the senate and the speaker of the house must receive an additional $5 a day in salary for those days during which the legislature is in session.

     (2)  Legislators may serve for no salary.

     (3)  Subject to subsection (4), legislators are entitled to a daily allowance, 7 days a week, during a legislative session, as reimbursement for expenses incurred in attending a session. Expense payments must stop when the legislature recesses for more than 3 days and resume when the legislature reconvenes.

     (4)  After November 15, and prior to December 15 of each even-numbered year, the department of administration shall conduct a survey of the allowance for daily expenses of legislators for the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Idaho. The department shall include the average daily expense allowance for Montana legislators in determining the average daily rate for legislators. The department shall include only states with specific daily allowances in the calculation of the average. If the average daily rate is greater than the daily rate for legislators in Montana, the average is the legislators are entitled to a new daily rate for legislators for those days during which the legislature is in session. The new daily rate is the daily rate for the prior legislative session, increased by the percentage rate increase as determined by the survey, a cost of living increase to reflect inflation that is calculated pursuant to 15-6-134, or 5%, whichever is less. The expense allowance is effective when the next regular session of the legislature in which the legislators serve is convened under 5-2-103.

     (5)  Legislators are entitled to a mileage allowance as provided in 2-18-503 for each mile of travel to the place of the holding of the session and to return to their place of residence at the conclusion of the session.

     (6)  In addition to the mileage allowance provided for in subsection (5), legislators, upon submittal of an appropriate claim for mileage reimbursement to the legislative services division, are entitled to:

     (a)  three additional round trips to their place of residence during each regular session; and

     (b)  additional round trips as authorized by the legislature during special session.

     (7)  Legislators are not entitled to any additional mileage allowance under subsection (5) for a special session if it is convened within 7 days of a regular session."
