During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $2,977,500 from all sources for Risk Management. This is a 0.8 percent increase from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources.
The Risk Management function of Support Services was organized to protect the assets of the department: roads, structures, employees (both departmental and contractor), and to ensure safety for the motoring public. This program works to eliminate or mitigate liability exposure and litigation loss from potential lawsuits due to claims that arise out of incidents that occur on highways, and damage to citizens' property as a result of construction projects.
