| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| The language in Section 7 granting the Commissioner authority to transfer funds within personal services lines to provide permanent ongoing funding for pay range reallocations could result in a reduction in personal services balances lapsed to the General Fund. Any non-Section 7 fiscal impact to the Department of Health and Human Services to implement this bill is expected to be minor. The additional costs associated with legislative staff participation in the working group regarding the Department of Health and Human Services' accounting structure can be absorbed by the Legislature utilizing existing budgeted resources. | |||||||||
