3.    Page 3, Lines 78 through 82
    House Committee Amendments
    2-24-2012 :
    

             78          (b) The amount of the employer contributions under Subsection (3)(a) shall be
             79      determined annually by the office, after consultation with the Department of Human Resource
             80      Management and the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget[.]
{   but the annual employer

             81      contribution amount may not be less than $750 for single coverage and $1500 for double or
             82      family coverage.  
}
  so that the annual employer contribution amount reflects the difference in the actuarial value between the program's health maintenance organization coverage and the federally qualified high deductible health plan coverage, after taking into account any difference in employee premium contribution.
