This bill allows the Board of Regents of the UW System and the chancellor of the UW–Madison to provide supplemental pay plans for their employees during the 2019-21 fiscal biennium. The chancellor must submit his or her plan to the Board of Regents for approval. Current law requires the Board of Regents to annually allocate $26,250,000 of its general program operations funding to UW institutions in accordance with an outcomes-based funding formula. In the 2019-21 fiscal biennium, this bill allows the Board of Regents to allocate all or a portion of that amount to fund the pay plans allowed under the bill, instead of in accordance with that formula. If the Board of Regents allocates a portion, the remainder must be allocated in accordance with the formula.
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:
