Department of Law

The enacted budget makes the following changes to the Executive Budget (March 29, 2012):

 

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis January 21, 2012):

A FY 2012-13 workforce of 1,798 FTEs, an increase of 51 FTEs from the adjusted SFY 2011-12 FTE level, which was unchanged from last year’s Executive Budget. There appears to be a shift in distribution of FTEs across programs, with a reduction of 128 FTEs in the Counsel for the State program (-128 FTEs) and the Criminal Justice program (-23 FTEs), and increases in all other programs.

 

The following chart identifies adjustments in the current fiscal year’s FTEs along with the recommended differences in FY 2012-13 FTEs by program.

·        An All Funds appropriation of $215.3 million, an increase of $6.3 million ($3.3%) from the enacted appropriation of SFY 2011-12.

·        A Personal Services appropriation of $115.7 million, a decrease of $11.2 million (-8.8%) from the enacted appropriation of SFY 2011-12, all of that decrease is in the Counsel for State Program’s Litigation Settlement SRO account.

·        A Contractual Services appropriation of $33.6 million a decrease of $14.97 million (-30.8%) from the enacted appropriation of SFY 2011-12, all of that decrease is in the Counsel for State program’s Litigation Settlement SRO account.

·        The Department of Law employed an estimated 21 employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2011-12 (or approximately 20 FTEs) at a cost of $2.5 million.  It is estimated that 18 consultant employees (or approximately 17 FTEs) will be employed in SFY 2012-13 at an estimated cost of $2.5 million. The expenditures may include more than personal service costs and is inconsistent with Office of State Comptroller data on consultant spending so it is difficult to draw conclusions about the cost per employee.
