STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27774 / S1347
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Department of Juvenile Corrections. It appropriates a
total of $52,620,700 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 414.00. For benefit
costs, the bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per eligible FTP and
temporarily removes funding for the employer's sick leave contribution rate. Funding for replacement items
includes $589,700 from dedicated funds for various items. The bill also provides funding for the equivalent
of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state employees, with an additional 2% increase for
those in the 20 job classifications most in need of equity adjustments. Funding for a 3% upward shift in the
compensation schedule is also included. The bill funds one line item, which provides $33,800 for instructor
pay. Also included are adjustments to pay the Office of Information Technology Services for security software
and data center office space located at the Chinden Campus; and billings in excess of current appropriations.
Lastly, the ongoing General Fund appropriation is reduced by 2%.
