The GLO reports that savings could be realized by eliminating costs for duplicative services in central administration, information resources, and other support services, if the two agencies would be aggregated. The GLO estimates that, of the combined agency appropriations, an estimated $1.1million in annual General Revenue savings could be realized in amounts appropriated to the agencies, with an additional $295,470 per year in employee benefits. Savings to Interagency Contracts are estimated at $491,963, plus a $54,637 in related employee benefits. The savings result from a reduction of 21.0 FTEs plus related costs.
The savings and FTE reductions shown in the table above for fiscal year 2012 is based on 11 months of the savings to be realized in a given fiscal year because the bill would not take effect until October 1, 2011.
