STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27792 / S1353
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Public Health Districts. It appropriates a total of
$10,594,400.
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 from the General Fund and Millennium Income Fund for the equivalent of a 2% change in employee
compensation for employees, with an additional 2% increase for those in the 20 job classifications most in need
of equity adjustments. Funding for a 3% upward shift in the compensation schedule is also included. The bill
funds the second year of the community health collaborative which is intended to transform how health care
is delivered. Finally, the bill includes funding for security software and data center office space located at the
Chinden Campus and reduces the ongoing General Fund appropriation by 2%.
