Committee on Regulatory Oversight
Overview
Modifies the list of information for the annual report collected from each budget unit by the
Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) for submission to the Joint Legislative
Budget Committee (JLBC) and the Governor's Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting
(OSPB).
History
By October 1 annually, statute requires ADOA to submit a report to JLBC and OSPB
containing information for each budget unit's full-time equivalent (FTE) positions and the
total amount of salaries for each budget unit. The report must include information for the
prior fiscal year delineated by retirement system, employee tier and fund source. A budget
unit is defined as a department, commission, board, institution or other state agency that
receives, expends or disburses state monies or incurs state obligations. Excluded are the
Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR), universities under ABOR's jurisdiction, and community
colleges (A.R.S. § 41-708).
Provisions
1. Requires ADOA to collect from each budget unit to include in the annual report, a list of
all FTE positions that have been vacant at least 150 days. (Sec. 1)
2. Directs each budget unit to eliminate FTE positions each fiscal year that have been vacant
more than 150 days, regardless of any other law to the contrary. (Sec. 2)
3. Adjusts the budget unit's allocated FTE positions to reflect the eliminated FTE positions.
(Sec. 2)
4. Defines budget unit and states that it does not include the Arizona State Department of
Corrections, the Department of Public Safety, ABOR, the universities under ABOR and
