STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27895 / H0598
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Military Division. It appropriates a total of $80,096,900
and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 435.80. 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 $440,900 for
vehicles, snowmobiles, microwave equipment, and network equipment. The bill also provides funding for the
equivalent of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state employees, and $470,500 for military
compensation. The bill funds four line items, which provide 14.00 FTP and $957,500 for new positions at
the Orchard Combat Training Center; 1.00 FTP and $77,000 for a land rehabilitation position; 6.00 FTP for
Youth ChalleNGe; and $1,136,000 for funding of 16 positions. 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 billings in excess of current appropriations. Lastly, the ongoing General Fund appropriation is
reduced by 2%.
