 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. It is the policy of this state to pursue equitable  compen-

 commission.

 directed to study and publish a report on the job title of nurse practi-
 tioner. The study and report shall include, but not be limited to:
   (a) the current job description of nurse practitioner and any  changes
 that should be made to more accurately reflect the actual duties;
   (b)  determination  if  the  current  grade 24 adequately reflects the
 actual complexity of responsibilities and duties;
   (c) the identification of a career ladder to be utilized in line  with
 other professionals such as registered nurses, social workers, rehabili-
 tation counselors, dentists and doctors; and
   (d) recognition of board certification as part of the career ladder.
   §  3. The president of the civil service commission shall determine if
 there is a need to make changes to the nurse practitioner title based on
 the information in the  report.  The  president  of  the  civil  service
