The bill includes General Fund deappropriations to the Department of Health and Human Services of $123,169 in 
fiscal year 2019-20 and $129,034 in fiscal year 2020-21 due to the elimination of the costs paid for the fire marshal 
inspections, which will also reduce Other Special Revenue Funds allocations and one-time appropriations and 
allocations for technology upgrades. The bill also includes a reduction to the Federal Expenditures Fund allocation 
due to a reduction of physical plant updates to meet current compliance. 
Other Special Revenue Funds revenue to the Department of Public Safety will be reduced by $181,7387 beginning in 
fiscal year 2019-20 from no longer inspecting family foster homes.
