Adjustments are made for each agency’s anticipated cost of audits performed by the State Auditor’s Office. (General Fund - State)
Legal Services
Adjustments are made for each agency's anticipated cost of Attorney General's Office legal services based on a three-year average. Because legal services costs are based on usage, funding provided in the central service model is not all inclusive. (General Fund - State)
DES Central Services

Enforcement Staff
The Human Rights Commission does not have adequate investigative staff to meet its mission and performance standards and to serve the people of Washington in a timely manner. The lack of resources and the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted case production.

Funds are provided to increase the agency's investigative staff. (General Fund - State)
Non-Rep General Wage Increase
