- END -

Explanation - Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 correct the fixed cost adjustment in the Department of Administration. The Section A subcommittee reduced the management services rate in the Department of Administration. This adjustment reduced HB 2 general fund by $3,393 in FY 2022 and $1,219 in FY 2023, state special revenue by $3,740 in FY 2022 and $1,344 in FY 2023, and budgeted proprietary funds by $2,376 in FY 2022 and $853 in FY 2023. In HB 2, this change impacts the Director's Office, State Financial Services Division, Architecture and Engineering Division, State Information Technology Services Division, Banking and Financial Institutions Division, Montana State Lottery, State Human Resources Division, and Montana Tax Appeal Board.



Item 9 corrects language for the State Information Technology Services Division in the Department of Administration. The operating expenses decreased by $91,610 in FY 2022 and $83,657 in FY 2023 because of adjustments made to fixed costs.


Item 10 corrects an error in HB 2 language in the Department of Environmental Quality. It corrects the reference to the proper biennium.


Items 11, 12 and 13 remove the designation of restricted and OTO for the state special revenue appropriation for the East Fork Final Design within the Water Resources Division of the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation and restore the funding to the base appropriation. This amendment does not change the overall budget.


Item 14 corrects the allocation for the fixed cost adjustment for non-office rent in the Montana Historical Society. Non-office rent in the Museum Program is paid entirely from the accommodation tax state special revenue fund. This change eliminates general fund reductions of $3,600 in FY 2022 and $3,615 in FY 2023 and proprietary fund reductions of $15 in FY 2022 and $15 in FY 2023. State special revenue reductions increase by $3,615 in FY 2022 and $3,630 in FY 2023.


Items 15, 16, and 17 decrease state special revenue funding by $1 in the Legal Services Division in FY 2022 and increase federal special revenue by $1 in the Legal Services Division in FY 2022 in the Department of Justice. This amendment increases general fund by $1 in the Division of Criminal Investigation in FY 2023 and decreases state special revenue by $1 in the Division of Criminal Investigation in FY 2023 in the Department of Justice. This amendment decreases general fund by $1 in the Motor Vehicle Division in FY 2022 and increases proprietary funds by $1 in the Motor Vehicle Division in FY 2022 in the Department of Justice.


Item 18 increases state special revenue by $1 in the Director's Office in FY 2022 and decreases proprietary funding by $1 in the Director's Office in FY 2022 in the Department of Corrections. This amendment is due to rounding.
