"Washington Student Loan Account: For transfer to the state general fund, $150,000,000 for fiscal year 2023................$150,000,000"
| EFFECT: Makes a number of changes to increase funding for new policies and decrease funding for removed policies as follows:
INCREASES
In Part V - Public Schools, provides funding for: An additional 20 extended learning days of instruction in the 2023-24 school year to address learning loss for students not meeting academic standard. Increased Special Education funding above the underlying bill to implement Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5311, which does the following: Increases the special education multiplier for K-21 students served more than 80 percent in a general education setting to 1.12, and those less than 80 percent to 1.06. Pre-kindergarten multipliers are increased to 1.20. Increases the enrollment limit to 15 percent. Provided Special Education Ombuds to each Educational Service District through the Office of the Governor. Grants for tutoring and extended learning prioritized for school districts with low scores on statewide assessments.
REDUCTIONS
In Part V - Public Schools, adjusts fringe benefit allocations for school compensation for reduced pension contribution rates due to a reduction to the unfunded actuarial accrued liability portion of the pension rates related to plans 1 of PERS and TRS.
Reduces the inflationary adjustments for school salary allocations from 3.7 percent to 3.1 percent in the 2023-24 school year, and 3.9 to 2.1 percent in the 2024-25 school year.
Substitutes the policies and contribution rates in Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5294 (minimum contribution rates for plan 1 unfunded liability) for those in House Bill No. 1201 (minimum contribution rates for plan 1 unfunded liability). Differences in the bills include reducing, rather than eliminating the FY 2023 appropriation from the General Fund-State to the Teachers Retirement System Plan 1 Fund, ending the existing minimum unfunded liability contribution rates after FY 2023, and establishing new long-term minimum rates of 0.5 percent beginning in FY 2028 (in the event funding status of a plan falls below a certain threshold). In fiscal year 2023, a $250 million transfer is made into the teachers' retirement system plan 1 for application to the unfunded actuarial accrued liability.
Eliminates appropriations for expenditure into the nondebt limit general fund bond retirement account for debt service on bonds to be issued if House Bill No. 1149 (referendum bill on housing/capital expenditures) is enacted and approved by the voters. Reduces estimated expenditures of General Fund-State by $54,668,000 in the 2025-27 fiscal biennium by no longer assuming enactment of the referendum bill for purposes of the four-year balanced budget requirement of RCW 43.88.055. -Reduces General Fund - State by $1,136,000.
Transfers all funding in the Washington Student Loan Account into the General Fund in fiscal year 2023. Increases General Fund-State resources by $150,000,000
Requires OFM to collect information from state agencies and higher education institutions on expenditures for DEI initiatives and programs, including staffing, and to compile the information into a report due to the legislature no later than January 1, 2024.
Directs OFM to reduce allotments from General Fund-State appropriations to reflect elimination of funding increases for DEI initiatives and programs in state agencies and institutions of higher education.
Increases General Fund-State at OFM by $100,000.
Reduces agency allotments from General Fund-State appropriations by $76,179,000 in the 2023-25 fiscal biennium.
Reduces appropriations for vaccination booster incentive payments under the assumption that participation in the incentive program will be 50 percent, rather than 80 percent in the compensation provisions that are funded in the bill. Reduces General Fund - State by $19,286,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: Increase General Fund - State by $100,000,000 in fiscal year 2023. Increases General Fund - State by $281,414,000 in 2023-25. Increases WA Opportunity Path - State by $22,814,000 in 2023-25. Reduces estimated 2025-27 expenditures by $404,228,000 for purposes of the four-year balanced budget requirement of RCW 43.88.055. |
