Committee reviews reversions and updated fiscal notes, finds gaps in house estimates

Summary
Staff reported three technical reversions and agency estimate updates — removing a $650,000 DOC pretrial reversion, naming $70,000 available from an ADS appropriation, and reducing an emissions repair unspent balance to about $300,000 — producing a roughly $310,000 difference from the house estimate.
Fiscal staff walked the committee through three technical reversions and updated agency estimates that change the amount the senate might have available compared with the house estimate.
"One of those reversions was so there was $650,000 from Department of Corrections for the pretrial program — it's no longer happening," Fiscal staff said, describing a removed reversion that affects FY26 appropriations. Staff also noted that the Agency of Digital Services (ADS) had been appropriated $100,000 for redistricting technical support but spent only about $30,000, leaving roughly $70,000 available compared with the house reversion assumptions.
On the emissions repair program at the Agency of Natural Resources, staff said the house assumed $598,000 was unspent at the end of FY25, but the department has continued to operate the program and has contracts that obligate funds, leaving about $300,000 available — a change that, together with the ADS update, puts the committee about $310,000 below the house's additional resource estimate.
"Adjusting for the change in the ADS reversion and the emissions repair program change... it's put you about $310,000 below where the house was," Fiscal staff said.
Members directed staff to update the spreadsheet and reconcile these technical adjustments with JFO so the committee can reflect accurate available resources when weighing added requests.
