STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28732 / H0283
This is the FY 2022 original appropriation bill for Idaho Public Television. It appropriates a total of $9,552,700
and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 70.48. For benefit costs, the bill maintains
the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per eligible FTP, extends the holiday for the
employer's sick leave contribution rate for another year, and restores funding for the employer's unemployment
insurance contribution rate. Funding for replacement items includes $110,000 for laptop computers, file
server, and production switch. The bill also provides funding for the equivalent of a 2% change in employee
compensation for permanent state employees and a 2% upward shift in the compensation schedule. The bill
funds two line items, which provide $50,000 for year five of a federal video production grant; and $100,000
onetime for federal spending authority related to COVID-19 relief.
