#GovRec funds medical, prescription drug, and dental inflation for #PEBP at 3.55% in FY26 and an additional 3.50% in FY27. These are again lower than trends projected by PEBP's actuary, putting pressure on benefits despite the increase in per-employee funding (to restore depleted reserves). #nvleg

Committee hears governor's GovRec inputs: one-time buydowns and a proposed shift of purchase-and-use revenue
Julia Ritter explained the governor's budget would use one-time general fund transfers (including ~$105 million to buy down property taxes and ~$10 million to backfill an ongoing purchase-and-use revenue shift), and that moving ongoing purchase-and-use tax revenue out of the Education Fund would require higher property-tax revenue all else equal.
