\"That general authority is that every agency can move money between categories, and if they have other revenue sources besides federal funds can increase it up to 5%,\" Director Salih said, describing the language previously discussed and the revised approach staff are recommending.

Salih said DFA would direct agencies at the start of the fiscal year not to do budget adjustments between categories unless correcting a clear error in House Bill 2 and that agencies should not increase other state funds or transfers by more than 2.5% in the first quarter. Salih said Legislative Finance Committee (LFC) objections would trigger withdrawal of the bar under the proposed administrative process rather than allowing the adjustment to automatically take effect under current law.

A staff member identified in the meeting as Miss Hilla pointed out a technical wording change in the fiscal year 2026 budget adjustment authority: the language should read \"Vocational Rehabilitation Division\" rather than \"division of vocational rehab.\" Miss Hilla directed members to page 17, line 70, for the specific insertion.

Vice Chair Dixon moved that the committee adopt the HAFC proposal for budget adjustment requests; Representative Sanchez seconded the motion. The transcript records the motion and second but does not record a committee vote on that motion during the excerpted discussion.

Committee members did not ask further questions during the recorded discussion and staff said they would develop implementing guidance with DFA using administrative procedures similar to prior budget guidance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Appropriations and Finance (Pt.1)- Feb 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Director Salih told the Appropriations & Finance committee that staff and the Department of Finance and Administration had agreed on guidance to limit agencies’ ability to move funds across budget categories at the start of the fiscal year.","taxTitle","Appropriations & Finance, House of Representatives, Committees, Legislative, New Mexico","taxId",64847,"location","New Mexico","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6028820,"Committee accepts Legislative Building Services budget; $28,000 LSC overrun tied to workers' compensation",255,377000,632000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5677133-beb1f204c48de2f8da9360c47532f730&start=377&end=632","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5677133-beb1f204c48de2f8da9360c47532f730/thumbnail_377000.jpg","/articles/6028820/New-Mexico/Committee-accepts-Legislative-Building-Services-budget-28000-LSC-overrun-tied-to-workers-compensation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6028820-fa6f3957dc1e4cf31a103f0efdc9a0ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1770551088&Signature=TNFCNX93QLgqAuH8N5oJ2pGy13Zy-ohWP30sf1UZVI0nE9tIh1K8q~THqBJHk6d0U8gm-E5DHB22vKXq3OtGqxGhNjeZ1Dz4W8j7U6DCEOmrfIBtebMQ0cFufQmY9AfkkzuaNhReGu4NrRaqvpdEXs77IbZxaQepkUTAWwb3aXUFt6b83fxeMbwwkXbQxQ49Hg8HbFPfuzzcBD6XjkY-nclisOS8CJCIehr1ZTI48W-CAfHteI0OsO6mCQxO85p7uRHt7YpB2sg07NG-VUcDnyHhtyS~n68hmSPiHBMbQFrFPuwmQ0P2rElmlh7LZLVINdQJTEs14qYVRyMqp51Alg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Janae Ledger, analyst for Legislative Building Services, told the Appropriations & Finance committee the executive recommendation maintained a flat operating budget for FY25 while the Legislative Service Commission (LSC) recommended $28,000 in additional spending.

\"The executive recommendation is flat with the operating budget for FY25. The LSC recommendation is $28,000 over, and that's primarily for the increase in the workers' compensation rate,\" Ledger said.

Representative Herrera asked whether the LBS budget covers all day-to-day services in the Capitol. Ledger replied that the LBS budget funds personnel, security, maintenance and routine supplies; larger capital or furniture projects are funded through House Bill 1's capital upgrades budget.

Representative Little moved to accept the LFC recommendation; Representative Chatfield seconded the motion. The chair recorded no opposition to the motion and the committee accepted the LFC recommendation for the Legislative Building Services budget.

Staff also told members they would distribute reauthorization recommendations for appropriations that agencies have asked for additional time to spend; those items were highlighted for review before a vote scheduled Monday. The committee then adjourned the full meeting and formed work groups.","Legislative Building Services staff presented a flat operating request for FY25; the Legislative Service Commission recommendation exceeded the executive request by $28,000 mainly for a workers' compensation rate increase. The committee accepted the LFC recommendation with no recorded opposition and moved into work groups.","actionData","errors"]
