    Budget Committee June 2019 State Budget Committee Agenda Monday, June 24th, 2019, 10:00 AM EST Indiana Statehouse Senate Appropriations Room 431 Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 I. Minutes 1. April 17, 2019 2. May 6, 2019 - Review item independently considered by members of the State Budget Committee. 3. May 14, 2019 - Review item independently considered by members of the State Budget Committee. II. Agency Projects 1. Department of Revenue (90) $ 20,300,000 Integrated Tax System (ITS) The Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) requests funding to continue modernization of its revenue business processes and technology enhancements through the implementation of an Integrated Tax System (ITS). This project will eventually replace the current Revenue Processing System (RPS) that was implemented back in 1992 and is comprised of 40+ disparate systems which are 25+ years old. The new ITS will allow DOR to improve and automate all major state tax revenue functions including Compliance, Operations, Finance/Internal Audit, Information Technology and Customer Service. The General Assembly appropriated $16.1M in FY2018, $16.9M in FY2019, $20.3M in FY2020, and $21.4M in FY2021 for the system upgrade work. Funding: HEA 1001: 2019 General Fund (General Government Line Items 19721-2020) 2. Auditor of State (50) $ 20,000,000 Payroll/Human Resources Modernization The Auditor of State (AOS) requests funding to conduct a combined Human Capital Management (HCM) and Payroll system modernization project. The existing payroll system has been in use since 1992 and will no longer be supported beyond 2023. The proposed solution is to expand the State’s use of the PeopleSoft system by upgrading the existing PeopleSoft HCM and integrating the PeopleSoft Payroll module to support the AOS’ payroll functions.
