          ratified by the Legislature.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :   Unknown.

           COMMENTS  :   This is a spot bill that will be used to approve the  
          final collective bargaining agreement reached this year between  
          the state and BU 7.  The current MOU expired June 30, 2008.
