JFAC approves statewide cost allocation adjustments affecting multiple agencies
Summary
The committee approved adjustments to statewide cost allocations, including changes to Attorney General billings, legislative audit costs, state controller fees, risk management and information technology services, totaling $5,540,500 across funds.
The Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee voted to include the governor's FY2026 recommendations for statewide cost allocation changes that affect multiple state agencies.
The package includes reductions and increases across several central services: a $2,800,000 reduction for Attorney General billings, a $306,900 increase for legislative audit billings, a $1,948,000 reduction for risk management, a $6,800,000 increase for the state controller, a $45,400 reduction for the state treasurer, and a $3,235,500 increase for the Office of Information Technology Services. The net requested adjustments equaled $5,540,500 across general, dedicated and federal funds.
Co-Chair Harmon moved the motion to adopt the governor's recommendation and the motion carried on a roll-call vote with a majority in both chambers: 20ayes, 0 nays.
Why it matters: Statewide cost allocation adjusts agency budgets to reflect the actual costs of services provided centrally (for example, audit, treasury or enterprise IT). Those adjustments reallocate costs among agencies and affect operating budgets across state government.
Next steps: The approved allocations will be reflected in agency budgets and the maintenance budget process. Detailed agency-level adjustments are available in the committee packet (pages 20through 26).
