STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27896 / S1394
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Regulatory Boards. It appropriates a total of $8,728,500
and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 73.00. 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 $27,800
for computers, monitors, laptops, and sound bars. 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 three line items, which provide 1.00 FTP and $74,100
for an additional investigator; 1.00 FTP and $40,400 for a business analyst; and $126,000 for the increase
to the annual lease associated with the move to the Chinden Campus. 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; software licensing, server infrastructure, storage to expand system capabilities on core
systems and to maintain agency-specific software; and consolidation of technology services. Finally, this bill
provides $1,352,000 for construction and moving costs at the Chinden Campus as a current year supplemental
appropriation.
