STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                                        RS27039
This is the FY 2020 original appropriation bill for the Industrial Commission. It appropriates a total of
$18,097,200 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 132.25. 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 $15,800 for rent
and internet cost increases for ten statewide field offices. Funding for replacement items includes $78,600
for office furniture and IT equipment. For statewide cost allocation, $10,800 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. The bill funds eight line items, which provide: $256,100 for contingency funding to pay rent at
its current office space if the Chinden Campus move is delayed; 1.00 FTP and $57,500 for a crime victims
claims examiner; 1.00 FTP and $63,300 for an employer compliance investigator; $270,000 to digitize paper
archives; $20,000 for cybersecurity software; $11,400 for a CEC for the commissioners; $12,600 for the
Governor's Technology Initiative 1 (Network Equipment Replacement); and a reduction of 8.00 FTP and
$327,300 for the Governor's Technology Initiative 3 (IT Consolidation). Section 3 of the bill amends Section
72-503, Idaho Code, to statutorily raise the commissioners' annual salary to allow for the 3% increase funded
in line item 6.
