As Passed the House

 

SB 1071 appropriates $351,052.86 from the state general fund and $371,534.14 from other funds to the Department of Administration (ADOA) to settle claims made against several state agencies.

 

Background

Each year, a number of claims made against state agencies remain unpaid due to inadequate documentation, late filings and searches for third party liability.  In order to pay claims from previous fiscal years, the Legislature must appropriate monies to ADOA for this purpose.

 

SB 1071 is the annual "relief for named claimants" bill, reflecting the Department of Administration’s request to the Legislature for an appropriation of monies sufficient for the payment of the claims made against state agencies by individuals and organizations who provided goods or services to those agencies in a previous fiscal year but who have yet to receive payment.

 

Provisions

·                      Transfers $111,605.22 from the Risk Management Fund to the state general fund (GF) and then appropriates that same amount from the GF to ADOA for the payment of claims made against ADOA itself.

·                      Transfers $256,394.76 from the Motor Pool Fund to the GF and then appropriates that same amount from the GF to ADOA for the payment of additional claims made against ADOA.

·                      Transfers $796.16 from the Technology and Telecommunications Fund to the GF and then appropriates that same amount from the GF to ADOA for payment of yet other claims made against ADOA.

·                      Appropriates $91,040.29 from the GF to ADOA for payment of various claims made against the Department of Health Services (DHS).

·                      Appropriates $239,451.52 from the GF to ADOA for payment of various claims made against the Department of Corrections.

·                      Appropriates $500.00 from the Osteopathic Examiners’ Board Fund to the Board of Osteopathic Examiners to pay Southwest Laboratories for an invoice dated May 31, 2000.

 

SB 1071 was amended in the Appropriations Committee as follows:

·                      Appropriated an additional $53,554.31 from the GF for the payment of additional claims against the Department of Corrections.

·                      Added an appropriation of $500.00 from the Osteopathic Examiners’ Board Fund to the Board of Osteopathic Examiners to pay Southwest Laboratories for an invoice dated May 31, 2000.

 

The Committee of the Whole adopted the Appropriations Committee amendment, and then made no further changes to SB 1071.
