JFAC approves statewide cost allocation adjustments affecting multiple agencies
Summary
The committee approved adjustments to statewide cost allocation billings and fees, including changes to attorney general, legislative audit, state controller, treasurer, risk management and IT services charges, totaling $5,540,500 across fund types.
The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee approved the governor’s recommended statewide cost allocation adjustments for FY2026, which reallocate charges among agencies for services such as legal representation, audit billings, state controller and treasurer fees, risk management and the Office of Information Technology Services.
Analysts described multiple line items in the packet: reductions and increases across agencies that net to a $5,540,500 total adjustment (approximately $3,636,200 general fund increase, $2,090,300 from dedicated funds and a $186,000 reduction in federal funds). The committee voted on the governor’s package and approved it in a roll-call, 20–0.
Staff pointed members to the packet pages where the agency-level breakout of those allocations is listed. Committee members said the adjustments ensure agencies pay for central services they receive and align billings in the statewide cost allocation plan.
