Changes language in Section 33-1004J to require that local school district boards of trustees "shall" provide leadership premiums to instructional and pupil service staff employees, rather than making it permissive ("may").

Establishes a minimum leadership premium of $859.00 (corrected from prior language) while maintaining the maximum of 25% of base salary designated in minimum salary on the career ladder.

Renumbers paragraphs (a) through (h) in subsection (1) to reorganize leadership activity categories, including teaching courses for dual credit, serving in hard-to-fill positions, mentoring, and providing career/academic counseling.

Revises reporting requirements to specify that the Department of Education shall report annually on or before January 15 (removing the specific 2016 date reference) regarding leadership premium data to the governor and legislative committees.

Clarifies that reporting requirements include descriptions of other leadership duties designated by boards of trustees and the number of premiums awarded per leadership activity.
