STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27839 / H0563
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Division of Human Resources. It appropriates a total
of $2,514,200 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 17.00. 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 $16,600 for 11 laptop computers, one desktop computer, and two monitors. 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 funds two line items, which provide
$25,000 for executive management training and 1.00 FTP and $79,200 for a personnel complaint line. Also
included are 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.
