STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27891 / S1383
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for Community Colleges. It appropriates a total of $48,974,200
and does not cap the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions. This budget includes support for
five distinct budgeted programs including the College of Eastern Idaho, College of Southern Idaho, College
of Western Idaho, North Idaho College, and Systemwide Programs. 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 nondiscretionary adjustments includes an increase
of $935,300 tied to an increase in weighted credit hours at the institutions. The bill also provides funding for
the equivalent of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state employees. The bill funds one
line item, which provides $6,700 for occupancy costs for the College of Southern Idaho. Lastly, the ongoing
General Fund appropriation is reduced by 2%.
