STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27773 / S1346
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the State Appellate Public Defender. It appropriates a
total of $3,007,300 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 24.00. For benefit
costs, the bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per eligible FTP and
temporarily removes funding for the employer's sick leave contribution rate. The bill also provides funding for
the equivalent of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state employees, with an additional 2%
increase for those in the 20 job classifications most in need of equity adjustments. The bill funds one line item,
which provides $1,100 for security software. Also included is an adjustment to pay the Office of Information
Technology Services for security software and data center office space located at the Chinden Campus. Lastly,
the ongoing General Fund appropriation is reduced by 2%.
