Committee approves contract inflation increases and statewide cost allocation adjustments
Summary
The committee approved ongoing contract inflation adjustments and statewide cost allocation changes, actions that adjust operating and interagency-billing budgets across multiple agencies.
The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee voted to include the governor's recommended adjustments for ongoing contract inflation and statewide cost allocation adjustments.
On contract inflation (examples: lease inflators and other ongoing contract increases), Representative Miller moved to include the governor's FY2026 recommendation for $3,356,400 in ongoing contract increases across agencies (breakdowns by fund type were in the packet). Senator Woodward seconded and the committee adopted the motion by unanimous roll call (20-0), with the chair announcing the motion "passes and will go forward."
The committee also considered statewide cost allocation adjustments, which redistribute costs agencies pay to one another for centrally provided services. Cochair Harmon moved to include the governor's FY2026 recommendation adjusting attorney general fees, legislative audit costs, state controller fees, state treasurer fees, risk management costs and Office of Information Technology Services charges. The motion described a net increase of $5,540,500 across general, dedicated and federal funds. The committee approved the statewide cost allocation motion unanimously on a roll-call vote (20-0).
Both measures change operating expenditures and interagency billing lines across multiple agencies as shown in the committee packet and will be incorporated into agency maintenance budgets.
