STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27138
This is the FY 2020 original appropriation bill for the Department of Labor. It appropriates $93,815,900 and
caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 681.58.
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. Replacement items include
three VOIP gateways, a network time protocol, three wireless network controllers, video conferencing
equipment, two HVAC rooftop units in Lewiston, and flooring and breakroom upgrades and finishes at the
Industrial Administrative Building. 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 four line items. Line
item 1 provides $426,000 from the Penalty and Interest Fund to purchase a Cloud Access Storage Broker
for $150,000, Storage Area Network (SAN), or block based storage, for $126,000, and a Visual Threat
Analysis Program for $150,000. Line item 2 provides $4,323,500 for a JOBCorps Pilot Project. Line item
3 provides $20,000 from the General Fund for an Idaho Rural Partnership summit. Gov Tech 1 provides
the department's portion of the network equipment replacement in the Office of Information Technology
Services budget. Overall, this budget is a 6.3% increase above the FY 2019 original appropriation.
