STATEMENT

 

     This bill amends and supplements the Fiscal Year 2012-2013 appropriations act.  It makes State appropriations totaling $224,837,000, reduces enacted appropriations by $398,006,000, and supplements various language provisions affecting appropriations and revenues.

 

     Supplemental appropriations of State funds:

     Department of Children and Families:  The bill appropriates a total of $36,885,000 for the following purposes:  1) a $14,365,000 Direct State Services appropriation for Child Protection and Permanency Services to cover shortfalls in the Salary and Wages account after the department increased staffing levels to accommodate unanticipated caseload growth and received less federal funding than anticipated;  2) a combined $16,520,000 Grants-in Aid appropriation for Child Protection and Permanency Services to cover funding shortfalls caused by higher than expected caseloads in the following accounts:  Foster Care, $7,152,000;  Out-of-Home Placements, $3,871,000;  Family Support Services, $3,320,000;  and Subsidized Adoption, $2,177,000; and  3) a $6,000,000 Grants-in Aid appropriation for Out-of-Home Treatment Services under Child Integrated System of Care Services programs due to higher than expected caseloads.

     Department of Corrections:  The bill appropriates $4,000,000 in Direct State Services funding for Institutional Program Support to cover increased inmate healthcare costs.

     Department of Human Services:  The bill appropriates a total of $179,852,000 to the following Grants-in-Aid accounts:  1) a $110,628,000 appropriation for Managed Care Initiative under the Medicaid program to make up for unrealized savings caused by a delay in the approval of a federal waiver request;  2) a $43,741,000 appropriation for Payments for Medical Assistance Recipients - Inpatient Hospital to cover higher than anticipated hospital costs under the Medicaid program;  3) a $21,138,000 appropriation for NJ FamilyCare - Affordable and Accessible Health Coverage Benefits to account for a lower than anticipated federal match rate;  4) a $4,345,000 appropriation for Payments for Medical Assistance Recipients - Personal Care to cover higher than anticipated costs to serve clients in the community.

     Department of Law and Public Safety:  The bill appropriates a total of $2,000,000 to two Direct State Services accounts:  1) a $1,000,000 appropriation for State Police Operations to cover a shortfall in the Salaries and Wages account; and  2) a $1,000,000 appropriation to the Additions, Improvements and Equipment account for Administration and Support Services in the Division of Juvenile Services to replace emergency generators.

     Interdepartmental Accounts:  The bill appropriates $2,100,000 in Direct State Services funding for Property Rentals for lease costs for Thomas Edison State College.

 

     Supplement to various language provisions:

     General Language Provisions affecting Appropriations and Revenues:  A language provision permits the transfer of up to $120,008 in surplus balances from the Long Term Obligation and Capital Expenditure Fund to the General Fund.

     A second language provision authorizes the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting to deappropriate, at any time during the fiscal year, any unexpended balances (also known as carry forward balances) from the end of the preceding fiscal year.

 

     Reductions in enacted appropriations:

     This bill reduces FY 2013 enacted appropriations by $398,006,000.  Two elements comprise the amount:  $365,013,000 in FY 2013 enacted appropriations and $32,993,000 in resources from various dedicated accounts.  In addition, the Administration indicated its intent to deappropriate $3,459,000 in unexpended balances from the end of the preceding fiscal year, which would bring the deappropriation total to $401,465,000 (or $401,585,000 if one includes the transfer of $120,008 in surplus balances from the Long Term Obligation and Capital Expenditure Fund to the General Fund that the bill authorizes).  This bill only provides general authority to deappropriate unexpended balances from the end of the preceding fiscal year but does not delineate such deappropriations.

     The deappropriation of $401,465,000, including the unexpended balances from the end of the preceding fiscal year that the Administration intends to deappropriate, is distributed as follows among the State departments:

     Department of Agriculture = $150,000

     Department of Children and Families = $172,000

     Department of Community Affairs = $14,849,000

     Department of Corrections = $3,739,000

     Department of Education = $38,012,000

     Department of Environmental Protection = $24,681,000

     Department of Health = $34,463,000

     Department of Human Services = $52,028,000

     Department of Labor and Workforce Development = $4,261,000

     Department of Law and Public Safety = $6,093,000

     Department of Military and Veterans Affairs = $17,000

     Department of State = $4,287,000

     Department of Transportation = $129,987,000

     Department of the Treasury = $39,623,000

     Interdepartmental Accounts = $49,103,000.

 

 

                                

 

     Makes FY 2013 State supplemental appropriations totaling $224,837,000, reduces FY 2013 appropriations by $398,006,000, and supplements various language provisions affecting appropriations in FY 2013.
