Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to require the Legislature to provide funds to Department of Health and Human Resources to provide local boards of health funds for pay raises for employees when the Legislature provides funds for across-the-board pay raises for state employees. It limits the Department of Health and Human Resources from using the funds for any other purpose. It also prohibits the Department of Health and Human Resources from placing additional restrictions or obligations on provided funds.
For the purpose of preparing this fiscal note, the Department assumes that if this legislation passes, it will become effective on July 1, 2021 and the Legislature will appropriate additional funds to cover LHD employee pay raises for the Department's State Aid for Local and Basic Public Health Services general revenue appropriation (18400) for FY2022 and ongoing fiscal years for the purpose of the Department distributing the additional funds to LHDs through State Aid disbursements.
No fiscal impact on the Department is projected as the bill indicates an appropriation increase is required to support the raise.

Memorandum
Legislative Rule 64CSR67, Section 4.2 requires the Department to distribute state allocated funds for basic public health services to LHDs through an established formula. It also allows the Department to withhold no more than 2% of the funds, prior to applying the formula, for use in emergencies and subtract no more than 4.7% of the total funds appropriated by the Legislature to be retained by the Department for state support of LHDs. If HB2813 passes and additional general revenue 18400 funds are appropriated to cover the costs of this legislation, the Department suggests that language be added to the budget bill stipulating the amount of 18400 funding appropriated for the sole purpose of providing pay raises for LHD employees to ensure the established formula and funds the Department retains for emergencies and state support are calculated correctly.
