This is the FY 2023 original appropriation bill for the Department of Correction. It appropriates a total of
$339,792,900 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 2,103.85. For benefit costs,
the bill increases the appropriated amount for health insurance by $850 to $12,500 per eligible full time FTP,
includes a one-year holiday of unemployment insurance, and adjusts workers' compensation amounts. The bill
also provides funding for permanent employees for the equivalent of a 3% salary structure shift and provides
$1.25 per hour per eligible employee to be distributed based on merit for change in employee compensation.
The bill funds 11 line items, which provide additional funds for an increase in pay for correctional officers
and probation and parole; software licensing; staffing for the east dorm expansion; additional positions for
vocational work opportunities; camp catering crew; an increase to mirror the career ladder for instructors;
wastewater lagoons; COVID operating costs; probation and parole and reentry specialists; and two federal
grants. Also included in this bill are seven onetime FY 2022 supplemental appropriations, which provide
funding for hepatitis-c treatment, pre-prosecution diversion grants, an inmate banking module, trauma informed
treatment, a digital radio system, funding to payoff a lease purchase agreement, and three federal grants.
