Committee approves $3.36 million in contract‑inflation adjustments for agency contracts and leases
Summary
The committee approved the governor’s fiscal‑year 2026 request to adjust operating and capital outlay for ongoing contract inflation, totaling $3,356,400 across general, dedicated and federal funds.
Keith Bybee, Division Manager for the Budget Policy Analysis Division, described the contract‑inflation request as “ongoing increases as defined in a contract,” such as stipulated lease escalators. The packet listed a total request of $3,356,400 for fiscal year 2026, with agency‑level details included in the committee packet.
Representative Miller moved to include the governor’s FY2026 recommendation adjusting operating expenditures and capital outlay for ongoing contract inflation. The motion specifies increases of $1,291,500 from the general fund, $935,400 from dedicated funds and $1,129,500 from federal funds, for a total of $3,356,400.
The committee adopted the motion by unanimous roll calls in both houses; the chair announced a final tally of 20‑0 in favor and the item will be included in agency maintenance budgets.
Ending: The adjustments are now adopted for inclusion in agency operating and capital budgets; the packet provides agency‑level line items for the committee record and implementation by agencies’ budget officers.
