COMMENTS
This is the fiscal year 1999 appropriation for the State Insurance Fund in the amount of
$13,497,400.
The State Insurance Fund, which is located in the Office of the Governor, is comprised of
two programs: the Workers Compensation Program and the Petroleum Storage Tank Fund
Program. It is funded entirely with dedicated funds generated from the sale of workers
compensation and petroleum storage tank insurance.
This appropriation includes fully funded personnel cost increases to cover higher
employer-paid benefit costs, a 2.6% inflationary increase for operating expenses, and a
5% change in employee compensation (CEC) for merit based pay increases with an emphasis
on moving deserving employees to the policy pay level. Funding for replacement items,
which includes a $200,000 mail folding/inserting machine, is also contained in this
appropriation.
Non-Standard Adjustments includes $440,400 of additional personnel money to cover a
funding shortfall.
Two enhancements are funded in this bill. The first provides for three new positions
(one premium auditor, one nurse consultant and one IT systems security analyst) plus
$40,000 for group position funding. The second provides one-time funding for an
information technology audit.
