Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection provides financial assistance to owners of livestock herds for conducting testing for paratuberculosis (commonly called Johne's disease). This bill increases the funding for that financial assistance by $400,000 in each fiscal year of the 2001-03 biennium.

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:
