HB 1527-FN-A- FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT authorizing additional part-time positions at the department of administrative services and making an appropriation therefor.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Administrative Services states this bill, as introduced, will increase state expenditures by approximately $113,000 in FY 2017 and $104,000 in FY 2018 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact to state, county, and local revenue or county and local expenditures.
This bill authorizes the governor to draw a warrant from funds not otherwise appropriated to pay for the three positions authorized in this bill.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Administrative Services states this bill authorizes the Department to hire three part-time positions, each at no more than 25 hours per week. The Department assumes these positions would not start until FY 2017 and begin at step 1 of the assigned labor grade. The salary will increase in FY 2018 to reflect the 2 percent increase with no other increase anticipated in FY 2019 and FY 2020. The Department estimates it will need to purchase $5,000 of equipment for each new employee in FY 2017 (3 employees * $5,000 = $15,000) and it will spend about $350 on travel and current expenses on each employee each year in FY 2017 through FY 2020 (3 employees* $350 = $1,050). The following table provides the estimated salary and benefits costs:
Estimated Salary & Benefits | ||||
| FY 2017 | FY 2018 | FY 2019 | FY 2020 |
Health Benefit Program Specialist IV (LG 27) | $38,000 | $40,000 | $40,000 | $40,000 |
Accountant (LG 16) | $24,000 | $26,000 | $26,000 | $26,000 |
Workforce Development Administrator I (LG 25) | $35,000 | $37,000 | $37,000 | $37,000 |
Total | $97,000 | $103,000 | $103,000 | $103,000 |
