considered by the state agency affected; (b) For which the act of developing or proposing is not a normal part of the job duties

of the state employee, whether acting individually or as a member of a group of state

employees; (c) Which is not within the state employee's authority or responsibility to carry

out or implement, whether acting individually or as a member of a group of state employees; (d) Which proposes to do more than merely suggest that an existing policy or procedure

be followed correctly; (e) Which does not concern an individual grievance or complaint; (f) Which would not reduce the quality or quantity of services provided by the relevant

or as a member of a group of state employees, may not submit more than two employee

suggestions in any calendar year. For any employee suggestion submitted by a state employee, either individually or

as a member of a group of state employees, that is approved in a calendar year, the

state employee may submit one additional employee suggestion during that same calendar

year. 5. The Board may, in consultation with the Budget Division of the Office of Finance

and the Interim Finance Committee, establish such additional standards for the making

and submission of employee suggestions as it deems proper.
