Appropriations Cmte Proposed Budget FY16 / FY17

The Appropriations Committee has released its proposed budget for 2015/16 (FY16) and 2016/17 (FY17).  The proposal appears to indicate that there are no 'across the board' layoffs for State employees, no early retirement plans, and no furloughs.

Most agency budgets remove or limit inflation and all vacant positions will be eliminated.  The licensing of accountants will remain at the Board of Accountancy in the Secretary of State's Office and not move to the Dept. of Consumer Protection as the governor proposed.
