In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to employees in "the
unclassified service of the State Personnel Management System" is added for
accuracy.

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the word "regrading" is substituted for the
former word "regarding" to correct a typographical error.

Also in subsection (d)(2) of the section, the phrase "but not limited to", which
formerly modified "include", is deleted in light of Art. 1, § 30, which provides
that "includes" means "includes ... by way of illustration and not by way of
limitation".
