The reductions correspond to the projected increase in agency expenditures on travel during the 2007-09 fiscal biennium over travel expenditures in the 2005-07 fiscal biennium. The office of financial management shall allocate the moneys appropriated in this section in the amounts specified to the state agencies specified in LEAP document number S6501 - 2008, and adjust appropriations schedules accordingly."

EFFECT: Appropriates $6,037,000 General Fund--State and $1,211,000 in other accounts for allocation to state agencies and institutions of higher education for the purpose of giving the 2 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for non-represented state employees on July 1, 2008, rather than September 1, 2008. The cost of moving the non-represented employee COLAs up to July 1st is funded by a freeze on agency travel expenditures at the 2005-07 biennial level, which saves $7,005,000 General Fund--State and $8,371,000 in other accounts.
