Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


Statement of Purpose
RS15287

This bill is the FY 2007 appropriation for the Legislative Services Office, the Legislative Technology program and the Office of Performance Evaluations. The adjustments in this budget focus on technology, providing additional funding for network support, and a programmer position to help meet the timetable for converting over to a new electronic information system, called the GEMS project (Government Electronic Management System) which is scheduled to be operational by the 2008 Legislative Session. The 30-year old software system currently in use is being replaced with a single integrated system that will provide Idaho Code and Session Law research and publication, bill drafting (including appropriation bills), RS creation, bill tracking, printing and publication requirements and web update capabilities. The system is being developed in-house to meet the needs of the Idaho Legislature and to enable LSO staff to do the ongoing maintenance and development, rather than rely on outside vendors. There is also a one-time approrpiation of $250,000 for a health care study in the Office of Performance Evaluations.
