| Budget Round | Initial Bill |
| Category | Unanticipated and unavoidable cost adjustments |
| Region | None |
Description
|
Reduces agency appropriation reflecting the anticipated lower cost of a new relay contract negotiated after the removal of corresponding budget language restrictions. Striking the current language is necessary as there may be no way to meet its provisions in future relay center contracts. A comparison between current contract costs and the national average paid for basic relay services has the potential to generate savings of up to $5.0 million annually, savings which will be passed on to localities through the Communications Tax fund beginning in FY 2016. |
