Summary
The committee approved a due pass recommendation on the Indian Affairs Commission budget (Senate Bill 20‑05), increasing total biennial funding by $71,730 to $1,288,351 and retaining the commission’s four FTEs.
The House Appropriations Committee approved a due pass recommendation Friday for Senate Bill 20‑05, the budget for the Indian Affairs Commission.
Representative Wagner presented the agency’s budget changes, describing a $71,730 net increase from the prior biennium, bringing the total to $1,288,351. The increase reflects salary and benefits adjustments, information technology rate increases and internal transfers between salary and operating line items. The agency’s headcount remains at four FTEs.
Representative Wagner moved adoption of the committee’s recommendation and Representative Steeman seconded. The roll call recorded the motion as passing 20‑0 with three members absent. Representative Wagner will be the bill carrier.
Committee discussion was brief. Staff clarified that some line items shown reflected Senate changes and that the House has not proposed amendments; the presentation was primarily the Senate’s changes from the enacted base.
The committee advanced the budget to the next stage of the process consistent with standard small‑agency budget handling.
