STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27035
This is the FY 2020 original appropriation bill for the Commission on Aging. It appropriates a total of
$13,636,000 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 13.00.
For benefit costs, the bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per
eligible FTP; provides a 5.5% increase for the employer's share of PERSI contributions; and temporarily
reduces the rate agencies pay the Division of Human Resources for its services. Funding for replacement
items includes $5,700 for replacement of laptops. For statewide cost allocation, $1,900 is provided. The
bill also provides funding for the equivalent of a 3% change in employee compensation for permanent
employees, with a minimum increase of $550 for each employee and the remaining amount to be distributed
based on merit. Funding for a 3% upward shift in the compensation schedule is also included. The bill
funds four line items, which provide $50,000 from the General Fund for the establishment of a statewide
caregiver program; $800 for network equipment replacement; $3,800 for mobile device security; and $6,800
for Office of Information Technology Services billing.
