STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27803 / S1359
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Commission of Pardons and Parole. It appropriates
a total of $3,545,200 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 37.00. 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. Funding for a 3%
upward shift in the compensation schedule is also included. The bill includes adjustments to pay the Office
of Information Technology Services for security software and data center office space located at the Chinden
Campus; software licensing, server infrastructure, and storage to expand system capabilities on core systems
and to maintain agency-specific software; and consolidation of technology services. Lastly, the ongoing General
Fund appropriation is reduced by 2%.
