B. State employees who did not receive a salary increase pursuant to Laws 2019, chapter 263, section 172 shall receive the following salary increases for fiscal year 2020-2021:
1. A ten percent increase if the employee's annual salary is less than $70,000 per year on June 30, 2020.
2. A five percent increase if the employee's annual salary is at least $70,000 per year on June 30, 2020.
C. The joint legislative budget committee staff shall determine and the department of administration shall allocate to each agency or department an amount for the salary increases. The joint legislative budget committee staff shall also determine and the department of administration shall allocate adjustments, as necessary, in expenditure authority to implement the salary increases. For each university, the state general fund must also provide the share of the adjustment that would otherwise be paid for by appropriated tuition monies based on the overall allocation of state general fund and appropriated tuition monies.
