STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27140
This is the FY 2020 original appropriation bill for the Department of Commerce. It appropriates $42,419,000
and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 43.00.
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. 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.
This budget includes three line items. GOV TECH 1 and GOV TECH 2 provide the department's portion
of the network equipment replacement and mobile device security in the Office of Information Technology
Services budget. GOV TECH 4 provides additional funding in accordance with the Governor's Technology
Modernization Initiative to consolidate and secure IT services. Overall, this budget is a 0.2% increase above
the FY 2019 original appropriation.
