Recommended Operating Budget Addenda
-
Distribute Central Appropriations amounts to agency budgetsAdjusts the agency budget to reflect amounts moved from Central Appropriations to cover the cost of items such as the continuation of 2007 and 2008 salary and health insurance premium increases, as well as changes in retirement and disability contribution rates and other centrally funded items. For each year, $156,497 (NGF).
-
Streamline debt collection policy for better programEliminates the requirement to transfer $1.3 million each year to the general fund from debt collected on behalf of state agencies. Since the 2004 Appropriation Act, the division has been required to transfer up to 40 percent of the funds it collects on behalf of agencies. The transfer requirement has caused agencies to seek exemptions or find alternate ways to collect debt. As a result, the division has not been able to meet the transfer requirement. The language amendment eliminating the transfer requirement should encourage more agencies to utilize the division's services.
