FISCAL IMPACT: Reduces General Fund - State by $20,500,000 Reduces Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund - Federal by $20,500,000
EFFECT: Creates the Encampment Cleanup Account-State in Part IX of the bill, and deposits General Fund - State into the new account in Special Appropriations. Appropriates from the account for the Department of Commerce to provide grants to local governments who enact an ordinance to make it unlawful for any person to camp on public property within 500 feet of certain areas and public facilities. Grant funding may be used for encampment cleanup, the prevention of future encampments, and other activities to address and prevent homelessness.

EFFECT: 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.

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.
