(a) If a mutual insurance company is established pursuant to this article, a person who:
(1) Is employed on the first day of January, two thousand five, by the commission;
(2) Was employed by the commission upon its termination; and

The Department of Personnel shall maintain such an employee on the reemployment list indefinitely, or until the employee has declined three offers of employment at a paygrade substantially similar to that of his or her position upon termination of the commission, or until he or she is reemployed by the executive branch of state government, whichever occurs earlier.
(b) The executive director may select former bureau of employment program employees who are, upon the termination of the commission, employees of the office of information services and communication and who enter into an employment contract with the company before the first day of December, two thousand five, to become employees of the company and said employees shall be afforded the benefits of this section.
