                                                        RS27093
This is the FY 2020 original appropriation bill for College and Universities. It appropriates a total of
$604,248,500 and does not cap the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions.
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. Inflationary adjustments
include $2,764,700 from dedicated funds for general inflation. Funding for replacement items includes
$116,700 from dedicated funds for replacement items. For statewide cost allocation, $106,200 is provided.
Nondiscretionary adjustments include an increase of $3,685,800 and endowment adjustments include
an increase of $233,500. 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 three line items, which provide: $50,000 onetime from the General Fund to pilot the
development of open education resources, a no-cost or low-cost electronic textbook option for students;
$150,000 in ongoing operating expenditures from the General Fund for Idaho's postsecondary institutions
to join a dual enrollment registration system; and 3.18 FTP and $887,800 ongoing from the General Fund
($115,900 for personnel costs, $771,900 for operating expenditures) for occupancy costs of Boise State
University, Idaho State University, and University of Idaho.
