The Enacted Budget passed by the Legislature on May 1, 2003 made no changes to the Executive Budget.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of February 7, 2003):
· An FTE level of 1,775 which represents a decrease of 159 FTEs, 65 of which will occur in SFY 2003-04. Reductions will occur in the Administration Program (-1); Appeals and Opinions (-4); Counsel for the State (-17); Criminal Prosecutions (-12); Public Advocacy (-15); and Regional Offices (-6). 75 positions in the Medicaid Fraud Control Program will shift from General Fund support to Special Revenue-Other support. All 65 position reductions are expected to occur through attrition.
· The adjusted FTE workforce for 3/31/03 is 94 FTEs lower than the 3/31/03 FTE workforce that was estimated in the SFY 2002-03 Executive Budget. These reductions are spread throughout the agency’s programs with the largest reduction in the Medicaid Fraud Control Special Revenue-Federal program, which lost 61 FTEs more than what was anticipated in the SFY 2002-03 Executive Budget. The SFY 2003-04 Budget does not replace these positions.
· A reduction of $901,000 in personal service in the Administration Program, which is significantly greater than a reflection of one FTE reduction in SFY 2003-04 and the 3 FTE reduction from the enacted SFY 2002-03 Budget. This issue should be clarified at a Statewide Labor/Management meeting.
· A reduction of $325,000 in personal service in the Appeals and Opinions Program, reflecting a reduction of 4 FTEs.
· A reduction of $738,000 in personal service in the Counsel for the State Program, reflecting a reduction of 17 FTEs.
· Reductions in the Criminal Prosecution Program of $820,000 in personal service, reflecting a reduction of 12 FTEs, $1.6 million in nonpersonal service, and the elimination of a $150,000 Special Revenue-Federal account to commission a study of money laundering.
· An increase of $6.6 million in Special Revenue-Other (SRO) Funding in the Medicaid Fraud Control Program. This reflects the shift of 75 FTEs from the General Fund to the SRO Recoveries and Revenue Account. The appropriation includes a decrease of $28,000 in personal services and the inclusion of associated fringe benefits and indirect costs. Also in this program, the Federal Health and Human Services Fund shows a decrease of $838,000 in personal services and an increase of $959,000 in nonpersonal services. The personal service decrease is probably related to the 61 FTE positions eliminated during SFY 2002-03. There is no explanation of the large nonpersonal service increase. This issue should be clarified at a Statewide Labor/Management meeting.
· Reductions in the Public Advocacy Program of $915,000 in personal services, reflecting the reduction of 15 FTEs, and $179,000 in nonpersonal services.
· Reductions in the Regional Offices Program of $548,000 in personal service, reflecting the reduction of 6 FTEs, and a $193,000 in nonpersonal services.
