Explanation
The bill requires the Office of Policy and Management to create a
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Office, headed by GIS Officer.
It is anticipated that OPM would need to hire up to two people to
staff this office, including the GIS officer. This results an annualized
cost of $247,000 ($174,800 for salaries and $72,200 for fringe benefits). It
is anticipated that the annualized cost would first occur in FY 23.
Assuming a 1/1/22 start date, FY 22 costs would range up to $123,490
(up to $87,400 for salaries and up to $36,096 for fringe benefits).
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.

The fringe benefit costs for most state employees are budgeted centrally in accounts
administered by the Comptroller. The estimated active employee fringe benefit cost
associated with most personnel changes is 41.3% of payroll in FY 22 and FY 23.
