Dear Senator Billinger:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 382 by Senate Committee on Ways and Means
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 382 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 382 would appropriate $11.2 million from the State General Fund to various state
agencies in FY 2024 for the state employee pay plan shortfall. The bill would increase the
expenditure limitation on various regulatory boards by $1.0 million to cover the pay plan in FY
2025.
The bill would transfer a total of $41.0 million from the Legislative Coordinating Council’s
Legislature Employment Security Fund to the University of Kansas and Wichita State University
with each institution receiving $20.5 million in FY 2024. The bill would also transfer $30.0
million from the Legislature Employment Security Fund to the State General Fund in FY 2024.
The bill would also authorize the State Treasurer to expend funds from the Build Kansas
Matching Grant Fund for projects that do not qualify for federal funding under the federal
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The authorization would run through FY 2028. The bill
would take effect upon its publication in the Kansas Register.
The Division of the Budget states that the State General Fund appropriations for the pay
plan shortfall in FY 2024 and for the expenditure limitation increases for the regulatory boards for
the pay plan in FY 2025 are included in The FY 2025 Governor’s Budget Report.
The Division of the Budget states that in The FY 2025 Governor’s Budget Report a total of
$30.0 million is transferred from the University of Kansas and Wichita State University Health
Collaboration Funds to the State General Fund in FY 2024. Also, the Governor recommends
transferring $71.0 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds from the Legislative The Honorable Rick Billinger, Chairperson
Page 2—SB 382
Coordinating Council to the University of Kansas and Wichita State University, with each
institution receiving $35.5 million in FY 2024.
The Office of the State Treasurer states that 2023 SB 25 included provisions to establish a
mechanism for eligible entities to receive matching grant funding from the Build Kansas Matching
Grant Fund. Under SB 25, the State Treasurer is authorized to grant state funds to match federal
grants to qualifying entities under the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The agency
indicates that SB 382 would authorize the agency to expend funds from the Build Kansas Matching
Grant Fund for projects that do not qualify for federal funding under the federal Infrastructure and
Investment Jobs Act. The agency states it cannot estimate a precise fiscal effect if the bill is
enacted. However, the agency estimates additional administrative duties associated with
additional projects that would be funded under the bill, if enacted, could be accomplished within
existing agency resources. The agency notes that this estimate assumes that salaries and wages
and other operating expenditures incurred by state agencies would continue to be paid from the
transfer from the State General Fund authorized in 2023 SB 25.
Regarding the State Treasurer provisions in the bill, any fiscal effect associated with those
provisions is not reflected in The FY 2025 Governor’s Budget Report.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
