This amendment provides $1.8 million from indirect cost recoveries the first year and $1.8 million from the general fund the second year to fund a budget shortfall in the Office of Drinking Water. Decisions in the past few years by the office resulted in increased operational expenses that were temporarily funded from nongeneral fund balances until those balances were exhausted in fiscal year 2022. To cover the shortfall in fiscal year 2022, $850,000 from the general fund was transferred from the budget for the local health districts to support the Office of Drinking Water. This amendment provides funding to ensure the operations of the office in the 2022-24 biennium, but requires a thorough analysis of how the office is funded to ensure adequate funding going forward.
