JFAC approves contract inflation and statewide cost allocation adjustments; other statewide decisions continue
Summary
The committee approved requested contract inflation adjustments and statewide cost allocation changes. Both measures passed with unanimous committee roll calls; several other statewide items remain unresolved.
The Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee approved two operational statewide budget items on Friday: requested contract inflation adjustments and updates to statewide cost allocation billings.
Representative Miller moved to include the governor’s fiscal year 2026 recommendation adjusting operating expenditures and capital outlay for ongoing increases defined in contract or lease rates. Committee members recorded unanimous support: the roll calls produced 10 ayes in the Senate and 10 ayes in the House for a combined 20-0-0 tally. The packet listed a total request of $3,356,400 across general, dedicated and federal funds and included agency-by-agency breakout in the packet.
The committee also took up statewide cost allocation adjustments—incremental billings agencies pay for services provided by other state entities. The packet described a net total change across multiple agencies (reductions and increases by agency, including Attorney General, legislative audit, risk management, state controller and the office of information technology services). The motion to accept the governor’s FY2026 recommendation for these cost allocations passed by voice and roll, with 10 Senate ayes and 10 House ayes for a 20-0-0 total. Committee materials showed a $5,540,500 net total impact across fund sources.
Ending: Both motions passed and will be forwarded in the committee’s maintenance budget packet. Other statewide items that required further debate or additional documentation were left for future action.
