2014 billTracker: System OVERVIEW • Our bill tracking and fiscal notes processes remain integrated • Billtracker captures and coordinates bill analysis across campus and includes fields, when activated, to gather fiscal note data (Becka will cover the latter next) • Ability to view fiscal and policy analyses in user view • Coordinated effort from UW HR and F2
billTracker: access Public view and features: opb.washington.edu/billtracker
billTracker: “My BILLTRACKER” My Billtracker view and features: https://opb.washington.edu/billtracker/assessor
billTracker: Process • Admins add a bill • Assign assessors • Assessors receive email
billTracker: Process • View feedback section • Click on “Assess this Bill” • Contact us with questions
Assessment requests • Remember that clear, concise, and conscientious is easier for us to use than sarcastic, short or rambling responses • Assessments are policy reviews and opinion gathering; separate and distinct from fiscal impact
Budget Updates • When budgets are released, OPB will quickly review and discuss with State Relations • OPB will produce budget briefs and send these out to our standard lists • We will also post to our blog and website: • OPBlog: Higher Ed Junction • opb.washington.edu • Supplemental budget session, so we expect technical corrections, targeted investments (if any) and hopefully, a fast and furious race to sine die on March 13th
