1. Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship 2000 Program
This bill reauthorizes the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship 2000 Program until 2021-22 and maintains the amount that DNR may obligate under the program and each of its subprograms in each fiscal year. Current law authorizes the state to incur public debt for certain conservation activities under the stewardship program, which is administered by DNR. The state may incur this debt to acquire land for the state for conservation purposes and for property development activities and may award grants to others to acquire land for these purposes. Current law establishes the amounts that DNR may obligate in each fiscal year through fiscal year 2019-20 for expenditure under each of these subprograms.
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:
