State finance
2011 Wisconsin Act 32 required the secretary of administration to lapse to the general fund from the unencumbered balances of general purpose revenue (GPR) and program revenue (PR) appropriations to executive branch state agencies, other than sum sufficient appropriations and appropriations of federal revenues, an amount equal to $174,300,000 in the 2013-15 fiscal biennium. Act 32 also provided for additional GPR and PR lapses from specific state agencies. This bill eliminates these lapses required in Act 32 for the 2013-15 fiscal biennium and, instead, requires the secretary of administration to lapse a total of $38,176,100 from GPR and PR appropriations to specific executive branch state agencies in each fiscal year of the 2013-15 fiscal biennium.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

and $174,300,000 in the 2013-15 fiscal biennium. Before lapsing any moneys under this paragraph, the secretary shall develop a plan for lapsing the moneys and shall submit the plan to the joint committee on finance.
