STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29678 / H0711
This is the FY 2023 original appropriation bill for Idaho Public Television (IPTV). It appropriates a total of
$2,817,400 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 14.00.
IPTV operates under the State Board of Education and provides emergency management infrastructure support
and educational and instructional television programs. For this appropriation bill: funding for health insurance
was increased by $850 to $12,500 per eligible full time FTP; a one-year holiday of unemployment insurance
was provided, and workers compensation amounts were adjusted. The bill also provides funding for permanent
employees for the equivalent of a 3% salary structure shift and provides $1.25 per hour per eligible employee
to be distributed based on merit for change in employee compensation. This appropriation bill also includes
funding for facility lease cost increases and content related replacement items. Finally, the bill provides for
a continuous appropriation for moneys donated to IPTV from the citizens of Idaho. Moving these funds to a
continuous appropriation status does not change the fiscal transparency for the use of these funds; which is for
content production and related services. The Legislature will still continue to evaluate these funds each year.
