Explanation
The amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact.
The amendment 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.

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. 2021HB-06647-R00LCO09852-FNA.DOCX Page 2 of 2
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 amendment also establishes a Geographic Information Systems
Advisory Council. This has no fiscal impact.
