STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                                     RS27968 / S1411
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Idaho State Historical Society. It appropriates a total
of $8,415,000 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 57.00. 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 $49,100 for technology items such as wireless access points, desktops, and printers. 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. The
bill funds three line items, which provide a net-zero fund transfer of $181,500 from federal funds to dedicated
funds to respond to and close an audit finding regarding the cash balance in federal funds; $700,000, of which
$600,000 is onetime, for a Cultural Resource Information System (ICRIS) for the State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) to increase efficiencies and provide better response time to consultation requests; and $250,000
in dedicated funds to allow the agency to spend donated moneys on traveling exhibits, field trips for Idaho
students, scholarships for students to attend National History Day competitions, and commemorative events
such as Idaho Women 100. 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. Lastly, the ongoing General Fund appropriation is reduced by 2%.
