1995 - 1996 LEGISLATURE

1995 Assembly BILL 435

June 8, 1995 - Introduced by Representatives Kreibich, Ward, Hutchison, Green, Owens, Hahn, Olsen, Walker, Grothman, Klusman and Underheim, cosponsored by Senators Darling, Zien and Fitzgerald. Referred to Committee on Colleges and Universities.

AB435,1,2 An Act to amend 13.48 (14) (d) 2., 16.505 (2m) and 16.967 (6) of the statutes; relating to: reports regarding the University of Wisconsin System.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, each state agency having surplus land must biennially submit to the building commission and the joint committee on finance an inventory containing the description, location and fair market value of each parcel of surplus land. This bill exempts the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin (UW) System from this requirement.

Currently, certain state agencies, including the UW board of regents, must biennially submit to the land information board a plan to integrate land information to enable such information to be readily translatable, retrievable and geographically referenced for use by any state, local governmental unit or public utility. This bill exempts the UW board of regents from this requirement.

Current law authorizes the UW board of regents to create or abolish positions funded from certain revenues. Quarterly, the board must report to the department of administration and the joint committee on finance concerning the number of such positions created or abolished during the preceding quarter. This bill requires the board to report annually instead of quarterly.

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:
