STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28040 / H0651
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the State Tax Commission. It appropriates a total of
$45483,800 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 448. For benefit costs, the
bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per eligible employee and
temporarily removes funding for the employer's sick leave contribution rate. The bill also provides for the
equivalent of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state employees. Funding for a 3%
upward shift in the compensation schedule is also included. The bill funds two line items, which provide
$171,800 for building space charges at the Chinden Campus; and $10,000 for a 2% CEC for the four tax
commissioners. 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, and storage to expand system capabilities on core systems and to maintain agency-specific
software; and billing adjustments in excess of current appropriations. Lastly, the ongoing General Fund
appropriation is reduced by 2%.
