Beginning in FY 2012, state agencies are billed for the Attorney General legal services involving employee issues with Career Services Review Office.
During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $453,500 from all sources for ISF - Legal Services. This is a 0 percent change from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources.
A cost containment of $550,000 was based on a 5-year historical yearly cost average. $100,000 was transferred from AG's budget to DHRM and the difference was billed to the agencies in FY 2012. As of the close of FY 2012, a budget reduction of $3,500 took effect. Due to a decrease in cost in FY 2013, the agency requested a fee reduction to result in collections totalling $317,745 for FY 2015. Instead, the legislature elected to eliminate the remaining direct General Fund appropriation and allow the ISF to begin collecting the entire cost containment.
