OIT real-time billing drives multiple departmental true-ups across supplemental package
Summary
Joint Budget Committee members noted repeated adjustments tied to Office of Information Technology real-time billing across many departments; aggregated OIT impact was described as a small net decrease in the package but individual departments show upward and downward technical changes.
Presenters repeatedly told caucus members that many supplemental adjustments are driven by changes in Office of Information Technology (OIT) billing under the state’s move to real-time billing for IT services.
Representative Byrd said departments are now charged for the "amount of services actually delivered," which produced many true-ups: some departments required additional appropriation for OIT services and others required reductions. Representative Byrd said caucus staff identified an aggregate net decrease of approximately $1,500,000 from the Office of Information Technology across the package, even though many individual line items increased.
Members asked for tables or further details to understand OIT’s billing methodology and aggregated impacts. Byrd said summary charts are in the briefing book’s opening pages and staff would provide more detailed tables on request.
The OIT-driven true-ups appeared across the supplemental bills for the governor’s office, corrections, judicial, higher education, natural resources, public health and many other departments; presenters flagged these as technical accounting changes rather than programmatic policy shifts.
