The UIL voted in the pay raises when they approved the new version of 1204. The new version is in the UIL constitution but was never implemented due to the law suit.

Furthermore, if UIL is still left in charge of things (aside from organizing officials), Then what is the need of TASO?

This bill removes UIL from the direct training and assigning of officials for the regular seasons, which is no small part of it. The ability for them to level sanctions could be problematic, and I certainly recall the concern over Timmons directly threatening to call officials to Austin.

The law is certainly a compromise. Thankfully we can put the lawsuit behind us and work to rebuild the relationship between TASO and the UIL. And enjoy a small pay raise, too.
