Repeals Section 8.22 of SL 2013-360, as amended which phased out certain teacher salary supplements.

Requires the specified State Board of Education policy, as it was in effect on June 30, 2013, to be used to determine whether (1) teachers and instructional support personnel are paid on the "M" salary schedule, and (2) they receive a salary supplement for academic preparation at the six-year or doctoral degree level.

Appropriates $8 million in recurring funds for 2020-21 from the General Fund to the Department of Public Instruction to reinstate education-based salary supplements for teachers and instructional support personnel. 

Provides that the provision of the State Budget Act are reenacted and incorporated into the act by reference.

Provides that except where expressly repealed or amended by this act, the provisions of other legislation enacted during the 2019 Regular Session expressly appropriating funds to an agency, department, or institution covered in this act, remain in effect.

Provides that if H966 (2019 Appropriations Act) becomes law and if there is a conflict with that act or the Committee Report, then this act controls.

Effective July 1, 2020.
