Explanation
(This amendment reduces administrative costs in the Department of Rehabilitative Services by $105,000 in FY 2004. A companion amendment in Item 347 redirects this funding to restore cuts to the long-term employment support services (LTESS) program. Language is also added to ensure that the department recovers no more than $80,000 or 2 percent for administrative overhead to implement the LTESS program. In implementing the across-the-board reductions contained in Chapter 899, the agency had increased the amount recovered from the LTESS for administrative overhead, thus reducing the amount available for direct services.)
