Fiscal Detail and Notes
The Department of Health and Human Services will require General Fund deappropriations of $123,169 in fiscal year 2019-20 and $129,034 in fiscal year 2020-21 due to the elimination of the costs paid for the fire marshal inspections, which will also reduce Other Special Revenue Funds allocations and one-time appropriations and allocations for technology upgrades. There will also be a reduction to the Federal Expenditures Fund allocation due to a reduction of physical plant updates to meet current compliance.
Other Special Revenue Funds revenue to the Department of Public Safety will be reduced by $181,7387 beginning in fiscal year 2019-20 from no longer inspecting family foster homes.
