Policy Changes

Legal Services

Adjustments are made for each agency's anticipated cost of legal services provided by the Attorney General's Office. Because legal services expenditures are based on consumption, funding provided in the central service model is not all inclusive. The methodology to estimate consumption is a two-year average and allows for analysis to incorporate unique agency circumstances. (General Fund - State)

Administrative Hearings

Adjustments are made for each agency's anticipated cost of hearings performed by the Office of Administrative Hearings. (General Fund - State)

DES Central Services

Adjustments are made to reflect each agency's anticipated share of charges from the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) for Capitol campus costs; real estate, risk management, and small agency services; the Perry Street and Capitol Campus child care centers; enterprise applications, and other items. (General Fund - State)

OFM Central Services

Adjustments are made to reflect each agency's anticipated share of charges from the Office of Financial Management for existing statewide applications, the One Washington program, and other central services. See Chapter 11 of the 2023-25 OFM Budget Instructions for allocation methodologies. (General Fund - State)

Admin Support

Funding is provided for two administrative staff to help with records requests and curriculum development. (General Fund - State)

Basic Academy Instructors

Upon the successful completion of the first pilot class for the improved Basic Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA) curriculum, the agency determined that the funding level for part-time instructors is inadequate. The new curriculum includes more hands-on scenario training which requires more instructors. An essential element of this updated curriculum is a low student-to-instructor ratio. Funding is provided to continue to implement this improved curriculum for all BLEA classes and increase the number of part-time instructors at each campus. (General Fund - State, General Fund - Private/Local, General Fund - Local)

Corrections Regional Academy

The Criminal Justice Training Commission is currently funded to provide four Corrections Officers Academy (COA) classes annually in Burien. To meet the increased demand for basic corrections officer training in eastern Washington, funding is provided for one additional class to be held in Spokane in fiscal year 2024 and two additional classes in fiscal year 2025 and each year thereafter. These additional classes will provide training for 36 more students in fiscal year 2024 and 72 more students in fiscal year 2025 and each year after. Funding for one FTE and three additional contracted instructors is required to support the regional COA classes. (General Fund - State, General Fund - Local, General Fund - Private/Local)

Regional Academies

Funding is provided to address increased facility lease costs for the northwest and southwest regional acadamies. (General Fund - State)

State Employee Benefits

Funding is provided to increase the retiree health insurance subsidy, adjusting the cap from $183 to $193 per month and raising the base subsidy percentage from 50 percent to 60 percent. The insurance funding rates are set at $1,145 per month for fiscal year 2024 and $1,158 per month for fiscal year 2025. (General Fund - State)

Pension Rate Month of Death Bill

Funding is provided for contribution rate impacts associated with proposed legislation that ensures the continuation of benefit payments through the end of the month in which a retiree or beneficiary dies. (General Fund - State)

CTS Central Services

Adjustments are made to reflect each agency's anticipated share of charges from Consolidated Technology Services (CTS) for the Office of the Chief Information Officer, Office of Cybersecurity, state network, enterprise and small agency IT services, enterprise architecture and data management, Microsoft 365 licenses, and other items. (General Fund - State)
