Committee/Agency Description Low High


Committee on the Judiciary
Department of Corrections Pharmaceuticals spending is forecasted at $3.8 million, which is $1.8 million over $1.8 $1.8
(FL0) current budget of $2.0 million.
Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF) is funded by the Corrections Trustee $0.0 $5.0
Reimbursement SPR Fund. The revenue estimate has decreased from $25 million to $19
million due to inmates staying a shorter time in the CTF. This shortfall is partly offset
by savings due to fewer inmates being housed at the CTF.
Total Committee on the Judiciary $1.8 $6.8
Committee on Health
Department of Healthcare $6.5 million: Childless Adults under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. As a result of $17.3 $17.3
Finance (HT0) recent program expansions made possible by the passage of the Affordable Care Act at
the federal level, DHCF now covers Childless Adults with incomes at or below 200% of
the federal poverty level (FPL) through Medicaid. Shortfall is due to: 1. Fewer people
transitioned from Alliance to Medicaid. 2. Delay in converting the 133% – 200% FPL
group to Medicaid. 3. Total Childless Adult population (Medicaid and Alliance) exceeds
the budgeted count of 59,360 childless adults under 200% of FPL for the affected
programs. The actual enrollment was 63,018 in total across the affected programs,
which is an increase of 3,658 or 6%. $5.1
million: Most of the savings initiatives in the FY 2011 budget are on track; however,
four initiatives that were supposed to take effect October 1, 2010 have been delayed,
thereby reducing the achievable savings.
$3.7 million: The FY 2011 budget assumed that DHCF would receive $3.7
million in dedicted tax revenue from a tax assessment of ICF/MRs. The ICF/MRs have
appealed the assessment and the $3.7 million of revenue to support the budget will not
be collected.
$2.0 million: unexpected fee-for-service spending growth.
