Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment replaces the Governor's Office of Policy Innovation and the Future (GOPIF) with the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (ACF) as the lead agency to implement a strategic plan to end hunger in the State. This change reduces the staffing needs of GOPIF from 4 positions to one position. The amended bill includes an ongoing General Fund appropriation of $130,885 beginning in fiscal year 2022-23 for one Public Service Coordinator II position and related costs. Any additional costs to ACF as a result of this change are anticipated to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
