The Education in
the Unorganized Territory program within the Department of Education will
require ongoing General Fund appropriations of $67,882 beginning in fiscal
year 2023-24 for the increased health and dental insurance plan costs
associated with allowing certain unorganized territory school staff to choose
to received annualized pay effective July 1, 2023. This estimate, provided by the Department
of Education, assumes that 31 unorganized territory school employees will
choose to receive their pay on an annualized basis. Currently, these employees do not receive
employee benefits year-round. General
Fund expenditures from this program are fully reimbursed by the Unorganized
Territory Education and Services Fund.
Therefore, there is no net general fund impact to the State as a
result of this legislation. |
|
The bill will
result in a corresponding increase in the tax collected through the
Unorganized Territory Education and Services Tax, which is levied on all
nonexempt real and personal property located in the Unorganized Territory Tax
District, beginning in fiscal year 2023-24.
As stated above, this additional tax revenue will be used to reimburse
the General Fund for expenditures incurred because of this bill. |
|
Additional costs
to the Education in the Unorganized Territory program associated with
programming and other administrative costs to implement the requirements of
this legislation cannot be determined at this time, but will also be fully
reimbursed by the Unorganized Territory Education and Services Fund. |
