METHODOLOGY:
This bill renames the Department of Administrative Services' (DAS) Division of Financial Data Management and updates the responsibilities of the Division. It also changes the name of the body that provides recommendation to the DAS's Division of Personnel (DOP) and increases the maximum amount that can be carried forward each financial year in the Education and Training Fund from $20,000 to $100,000.
DAS states the name changes and updated responsibilities of the division has no fiscal impact. The change in the maximum amount to be carried forward may reduce General Fund revenue from $0 to $80,000 maximum as anything over $20,000 and less than $100,000 would not lapse into the General Fund. However, this decrease would be offset by an increase to the Education and Training Fund resulting in a net zero to total State funds. Based on fiscal years 2020 and 2021 the Education and Training Fund lapsed amounts of $26,280 and $13,704, to the General Fund respectively, after the allotted $20,000 carry forward amount. In previous years, the lapse was higher, however, this was due to the Education and Training Fund being funded by the General Fund. Because the General Fund is no longer funding the Education and Training Fund, DAS does not expect net revenues in the Education and Training Fund to exceed the $100,000 carry-forward.
