1. Continuing appropriations
This bill changes the appropriations for the veterans home exchange program and the veterans cemetery operations from sum certain annual appropriations to continuing appropriations. 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. A continuing appropriation is expendable until fully depleted, and the moneys held therein do not lapse. Therefore, the effect of this change is to allow the moneys in the appropriations to continue to be spent until depleted.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. 20.485 (1) (g) of the statutes is amended to read:
20.485 (1) (g) Home exchange. The amounts in the schedule for the purchase of the necessary materials, supplies and equipment for the operation of the home exchange, and compensation for members' labor. All moneys received from the sale of products authorized by s. 45.51 (7) shall be credited to this appropriation, for the purchase of the necessary materials, supplies, and equipment for the operation of the home exchange, and compensation for members' labor.
****Note: This Section involves a change in an appropriation that must be reflected in the revised schedule in s. 20.005, stats.
Section 2. 20.485 (4) (g) of the statutes is amended to read:
20.485 (4) (g) Cemetery operations. The amounts in the schedule for the care and operation of the veterans memorial cemeteries under s. 45.61 other than those costs provided under pars. (q) and (r). All moneys received under s. 45.61 (3) shall be credited to this appropriation account, for the care and operation of the veterans memorial cemeteries under s. 45.61 other than those costs provided under pars. (q) and (r).
****Note: This Section involves a change in an appropriation that must be reflected in the revised schedule in s. 20.005, stats.
