                                BY APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE

  2    EXPRESSING LEGISLATIVE INTENT REGARDING  EMPLOYEE  BENEFITS;  PROVIDING  ADDI-
  3        TIONAL  APPROPRIATIONS  FOR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, AGENCIES AND INSTITUTIONS
  4        FOR FISCAL YEAR 2004; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND  PROVIDING  AN  EFFECTIVE
  5        DATE.
                                                                        
  6    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
  7        SECTION 1.  The Legislature finds it in the best interest of the state to
  8    provide  a quality benefits package to its employees. A quality benefits pack-
  9    age is a critical component of employee compensation and  employee  retention.
 10    Therefore, the appropriations in Section 2 of this act are provided to pay the
 11    estimated  increases  in  employer  paid  benefits  and employee paid premiums
 12    related to health insurance for fiscal year 2004. Furthermore,  should  actual
 13    health insurance premium increases exceed those for which funding is provided,
 14    it  is legislative intent that the funding provided through the employee group
 15    insurance fund for the Employee Assistance Program be applied to  pay  premium
 16    costs for group medical and dental insurance coverage.
                                                                        
 17        SECTION  2.  In  addition  to any other appropriation enacted by the First
 18    Regular Session of the Fifty-seventh Idaho Legislature, there is hereby appro-
 19    priated to the designated departments, agencies and institutions the following
 20    amounts from the listed funds for the period July 1, 2003,  through  June  30,
 21    2004.  Such additions are to be made as closely to the executive budget recom-
 22    mendation by program as practicable.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


Statement of Purpose
RS13326

This is the fiscal year 2004 appropriation bill for selected agency personnel cost rollups. The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee did not include personnel costs rollups in the fiscal year appropriation bills set before March 4, 2003, so this is follow-up legislation to provide funding for those budgets.

Personnel cost rollups traditionally reflect the estimated increases in employer benefit costs needed to maintain the current benefits package in the following fiscal year. This appropriation also includes the employee portion of increases in health care costs because the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee was unable to fund a Change in Employee Compensation. 

The appropriation is $1,147,200 in General Funds, $1,264,800 in dedicated funds and $224,900 in federal funds for a total of $2,636,900 in ongoing funding.
