Policy Changes

Audit Services

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

Adjustments are made to reflect each agency’s anticipated share of charges from the Department of Enterprise Services for campus rent, parking, security and contracts; capital project surcharges; financing cost recovery; public and historic facilities; real estate services; risk management services; personnel service rates; the Perry Street and Capitol Campus child care centers; small agency services; and the department’s enterprise applications. See the 2021-23 Budget Instructions for allocation methodologies. (General Fund - State)

WFSE General Government

The collective bargaining agreement includes a general wage increase of 3.25% for fiscal year 2023 and a lump sum payment for employees who were employed continuously starting on or before July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. (General Fund - State)

Basic Law Enforcement Academy

Demand for Basic Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA) courses exceeds space available in the 15 classes per year funded in the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission's biennial budget. Funding is provided for 4.5 additional BLEA classes in fiscal year 2022 (total of 19.5) and 8.5 additional classes in fiscal year 2023 (total of 23.5) to eliminate the current waitlist. The estimated ongoing need is for 20 classes per year. (General Fund - Private/Local, General Fund - Local, General Fund - State)

Internet Crimes Task Force

Funding is provided for the Washington Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to combat internet-facilitated crimes against children, promote education on internet safety to the public and minors, and rescue child victims from abuse and exploitation. The biennial budget included a General Fund-State appropriation to the Internet Crimes Against Children Account in the Criminal Justice Training Commission (CJTC) section of the budget. This item moves that appropriation from the CJTC section of the budget to the Special Appropriations section, where such appropriations are typically found. (General Fund - State, WA Internet Crimes Children - State)

Denied Firearms Investigations

Funding is provided for additional grants to local jurisdictions to investigate instances where a purchase or transfer of a firearm was attempted by an individual who is prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm. Grants are provided for either $300 or $500, and the funding requests have increased each year since the program started in 2017. (General Fund - State)

FTE Increase

Funding is provided for additional staff to support the human resources, information technology, and custodial needs of the Criminal Justice Training Commission. The size of the agency has increased significantly over the past six years and that growth has exceeded the capacity of current indirect staffing levels. (General Fund - State)

Coroners and Medical Examiners

RCW 43.101.480 requires the Criminal Justice Training Commission to develop medicolegal forensic investigation training curriculum, adopt standards for the medicolegal training academy, and certify successful completion of the training. To implement these requirements, funding is provided for additional staffing needs that were not identified before the law was passed. (Death Investigations Account - State)

Substance Use Disorder Training

Funds are provided for the Criminal Justice Training Commission to develop and deliver training on law enforcement interaction with persons with substance use disorders as required by RCW 43.101.205. The law passed before the agency could provide an estimate that reflected the full cost of this requirement, and the funding provided by the Legislature was not sufficient. (General Fund - State)

Online Training Platform

As part of the Law Enforcement Training and Community Safety Act (RCW 43.101.455), the Criminal Justice Training Commission is required to develop curriculum and deliver training on a number of topics including implicit and explicit bias, cultural competency, and the historical intersection of race and policing. Funding is provided for subscriptions to a mobile training platform to most efficiently provide this and other required trainings to all peace and corrections officers in the state. (General Fund - State)

State Employee Benefits

Health insurance funding is provided for state employees who are not covered by the healthcare coalition. The insurance funding rate is $936 per employee per month for fiscal year 2022 and $1,130 per employee per month for fiscal year 2023. (General Fund - State)

Rep Employee Health Benefits

Health insurance funding is provided as part of the master agreements for employees who bargain for health benefits as part of a coalition of unions. The insurance funding rate is $936 per employee per month for fiscal year 2022 and $1,130 per employee per month for fiscal year 2023. (General Fund - State)

Non-Rep General Wage Increase

A general wage increase of 3.25%, effective July 1, 2022, is provided for state employees who are not represented by a union or who are covered by a bargaining agreement that is not subject to financial feasibility determination. (General Fund - Private/Local, General Fund - Local, General Fund - State)
