COMMENTS:

This is the fiscal year 1999 appropriation for the Department of Commerce in the amount
of $23,935,500.  Although the department is funded as a single program, it is comprised
of four divisions: Economic Development, Community Development, International Business
Development, and Tourism Development.

This is a maintenance of current operations budget.  In total dollar terms, there is no
difference between what was requested by the agency, what was recommended by the
Governor, and what is appropriated in this bill.

Included in this appropriation is a 2.6% inflationary increase for operating expenses, 5%
 change in employee compensation (CEC) for merit based pay increases with an emphasis on
moving deserving employees to the policy pay level, and fully funded personnel cost
increases to cover higher employer-paid health insurance premiums.

This appropriation also limits the department's number of full-time positions for FY
1999.
