FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 PROPOSED BUDGET
The proposed consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 amounts to $71,148,000 from the Joint Resolution General Fund.
Operational expenses reflect a decrease of $2,269,000 when compared to funds assigned in fiscal year 2011-2012 due to a reduction in Rent and Utilities expense and to the implementation of an early retirement incentive program.
The proposed budget will allow the agency to continue to provide services according to the stipulations of the Federal Court in relation to the Morales Feliciano Case. It will allow for the continuation of medical services to inmates, the treatment of infectious and sexually transmitted diseases, specifically Hepatitis C and HIV and to make medicine available in order to provide efficient care and prevent diseases.
