STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27945 / S1408
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Idaho State Police. It appropriates a total of $86,157,600
and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 614.10. 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 $5,082,500 for
vehicles, computer equipment, ballistic vests, and forensic equipment. 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 nine line items, which provide 1.25 FTP and
$35,100 for a brand inspector; $197,200 for Office 365; $165,000 for an increase in IT contracts; a fund shift
of $130,000 from the General Fund to dedicated funds; $163,600 for an overdose to action grant; $522,800 for
a commissioned officer pay plan; 2.00 FTP and $62,700 for regional communication officers; 2.00 FTP and

center office space located at the Chinden Campus; and billings in excess of current appropriations. Lastly, the
ongoing General Fund appropriation is reduced by $576,400 with $322,300 shifted to dedicated funds.
