STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27793 / H0536
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Endowment Fund Investment Board. It appropriates
a total of $754,800 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 4.00. 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. Funding for replacement items
includes $2,000 for computer equipment. 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 adjustments to pay the Office of Information
Technology Services for security software and data center office space located at the Chinden Campus; and
software licensing, server infrastructure, and storage to expand system capabilities on core systems and to
maintain agency-specific software.
