                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                   (Executive Budget: pp. 359-362)
  
The Division of Parole is responsible for monitoring and supervising
of approximately 60,000 parolees who have been released from the
State's prison system.  

The Division of Parole is included in the Public Protection and
General Government appropriation bill.

The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $198,287,000,
which represents a decrease of $2,019,000.

State Operations
  
The Executive recommends an All Funds State Operations appropriation
of $154,353,000, which is an increase of $2,521,000.  This
appropriation includes a General Fund appropriation of $152,067,000,
an increase of $5,760,000, and a Federal appropriation of $1,461,000,
representing a decrease of $3,239,000.  The General Fund appropriation
includes the following:

--     A $7,740,000 net increase to reflect salary adjustments and
       other costs associated with agency operations.

--     A $500,000 appropriation to continue current drug testing
       standards which replaces the elimination of Federal funding.

--     A savings of $1,294,000 due to a reduction of 34 positions in
       State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03, as a result of a decrease in
       the parole population.

--     A savings of $342,000 due to a  reduction of 10 institutional
       positions in SFY 2002-03 due to a Department of Correctional
       Services population reduction and implementation of the
       transitional services program.

--     A savings of $844,000 due to a reduction of 16 Parole Officers
       in State Fiscal year 2002-03 due to improvements in the
       community preparation process and implementation of the
       transitional services program. 

Aid to Localities

The Executive recommends an Aid to Localities appropriation of
$43,934,000, including a General Fund appropriation of $35,972,000,
reflecting a $4,509,000 decrease from SFY 2001-02.  This reduction is
attributable to lower costs for housing parole violators in local
jails.  The Executive also recommends a Federal Funds appropriation
of $2,712,000, which represents a decrease of $31,000.
