Relates to the appropriation to the Idaho State Historical Society for fiscal year 2021.

This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Idaho State Historical Society. It appropriates a total of $8,415,000 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 57.00. For benefit costs, the bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per eligible FTP and temporarily removes funding for the employer's sick leave contribution rate. Funding for replacement items includes $49,100 for technology items such as wireless access points, desktops, and printers. The bill also provides funding for the equivalent of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state employees, with an additional 2% increase for those in the 20 job classifications most in need of equity adjustments. The bill funds three line items, which provide a net-zero fund transfer of $181,500 from federal funds to dedicated funds to respond to and close an audit finding regarding the cash balance in federal funds; $700,000, of which $600,000 is onetime, for a Cultural Resource Information System (ICRIS) for the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to increase efficiencies and provide better response time to consultation requests; and $250,000 in dedicated funds to allow the agency to spend donated moneys on traveling exhibits, field trips for Idaho students, scholarships for students to attend National History Day competitions, and commemorative events such as Idaho Women 100. Also included are adjustments to pay the Office of Information Technology Services for security software and data center office space located at the Chinden Campus; and software licensing, server infrastructure, and storage to expand system capabilities on core systems and to maintain agency-specific software. Lastly, the ongoing General Fund appropriation is reduced by 2%. DISCLAIMER: This statement of purpose and
