1. General fund supplement to veterans trust fund
This bill changes the appropriation for the general fund supplement to the veterans trust fund from a sum certain annual appropriation to a sum sufficient appropriation. An annual sum certain appropriation is expendable only for the fiscal year for which the appropriation is made and only up to the dollar amount shown in the schedule for that fiscal year; whereas, a sum sufficient appropriation is expendable up to the amount that is necessary to accomplish the purpose specified. The effect of this change is to allow the secretary of administration to determine the amounts of money that may be expended for veterans programs by transferring moneys from the general fund to the veterans trust fund.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 20.485 (2) (db) of the statutes is renumbered 20.855 (4) (bv) and amended to read:
20.855 (4) (bv) General fund supplement to veterans trust fund. From the general fund, the amounts in the schedule a sum sufficient to be paid into the veterans trust fund to supplement the fund if it contains insufficient moneys, as determined by the secretary of administration, to be used for veterans programs.
****Note: This Section
involves a change in an appropriation that must be reflected in the revised schedule in s. 20.005, stats.
Section 9448.
