COMMENTS:

This is the fiscal year 1999 appropriation for the Department of Insurance in the amount
of $5,101,400.

The Department of Insurance consists of two programs: Insurance Regulation, and the State
 Fire Marshall.  It receives no General Fund money.

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.

One enhancement was funded.  It provides two new vehicles for use by deputy fire
marshals.

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