Committee reviews WSI budget; IT and building improvements are main one‑time items
Summary
Members reviewed House Bill 1021, a Workforce Safety & Insurance (WSI) budget, noting one-time IT and building-improvement funding and reductions from the vacant‑FTE pool; statement of purpose and long sheet updates were requested.
The Appropriations - Education and Environment Division reviewed House Bill 1021 (WSI) and found the committee’s version largely matched the governor’s base budget with some reductions in other funds from a vacant-FTE pool.
Staff said one-time funding in the proposed WSI budget is mainly for IT systems and building improvements; the committee recorded about $1.366 million in reductions to other funds tied to vacant positions. Representative Hansen told the committee the budget is straightforward pending a finalized statement of purpose.
Committee members asked that the statement of purpose and updated long sheets be prepared and delivered so the item can be taken up after the floor session. Staff indicated the statement of purpose likely would be available that afternoon pending internal review.
