Explanation - Item 1 provides $3,357 additional proprietary authority for debt service in each fiscal year to offset an unintentional negative adjustment in the statewide present law adjustment for fixed costs.

Items 2 increases state special revenue appropriations by $12,600 each fiscal year for the statewide cost allocation plan in the Architecture and Engineering Division in the Department of Administration.

3,4,5, and 6 corrects state special revenue inappropriately included in the legislative audit line item. These adjustments have no impact on the budget, they adjust authority between the lines of the agency budgets.

Item 7 increases operating expenses by $8,510 in FY 2020 and $8,511 in FY 2021 for the POST transfer into the Montana Law Enforcement Academy to correct for a formula error.

Explanation - Item 8 corrects the funding for the fixed cost adjustment by reducing general fund by $8 in FY 2020 and $9 in FY 2021 and increasing state special revenues by the same amount.
