THE OPPORTUNITY
Applications consultants are full-time, non-partisan positions that are exempt from civil service. They serve at the pleasure of the LEAP Administrator.
ABOUT THE AGENCY
The LEAP Committee was created in 1977 to provide the Legislature an independent source of information and technology for developing budgets, communicating budget decisions, and tracking expenditure and revenue activity.
Toward that end, LEAP staff create and maintain systems and models for use by budget writing staff; provide access to state fiscal information, including through the state's fiscal transparency website; administer data to support budget development and oversight; assist fiscal staff in creating publications, provide training for legislative staff and respond to requests for information.
LEAP systems are used to record and communicate the underlying assumptions that support proposed funding levels for each agency of state government.
LEAP systems are also used by the Legislature to compare different versions of the budget and facilitate negotiation of a final budget.
LEAP works closely with staff from the legislative fiscal committees, other legislative agencies, and the Office of Financial Management to ensure the Legislature has the most accurate, complete, and comprehensive information possible to make strategic decisions about the fiscal course of state government.
LEAP is a bipartisan committee comprised of four members of the Senate and four members of the House with a current staff of 10 and a biennial budget of $6.1 million.
