Committee hears brief technical fix to indirect cost recovery language; no fiscal impact reported
Summary
Staff and the state budget officer described a technical amendment to clarify that a workers' compensation account excluded from indirect cost recovery last year is now included in the statute language; staff said the fix has no budgetary impact and corrects an omission in last year's language.
Sharon and state budget staff told the committee that a minor technical amendment is required to align the statutory language with the math used in last year's action exempting workers' compensation from indirect cost recovery. The amendment adds an account that had been included in the budget math but was left out of the statutory text; staff said the change corrects the omission and carries no budgetary impact.
Joe Cadiga, the state budget officer, described the item as a clarifying cleanup and said the administration brought it forward to avoid ambiguity in application. Committee members did not challenge the characterization and no formal vote occurred during the hearing.
