6division administrators in the state civil service system.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
During the 2011-12 legislative session, 2011 Wisconsin Acts 10 and 32
increased the number of unclassified division administrators in executive branch
state agencies. An unclassified division administrator serves at the pleasure of his
or her appointing authority, while a classified division administrator may only be
removed from the position for cause. 2011 Wisconsin Act 10 also permitted
appointing authorities in executive branch agencies to designate any managerial
position as an unclassified division administrator position.
This bill eliminates the increases in the number of unclassified division
administrator positions that were authorized in 2011 Wisconsin Acts 10 and 32 and
eliminates the ability of an appointing authority to designate any managerial
position as an unclassified division administrator position. The bill also requires the
secretary of administration to submit a plan to the Joint Committee on Finance
(JCF) for adjusting appropriations and authorized classified and unclassified

positions that result from the reduction in the number of unclassified division
administrators under this bill. If the cochairpersons of JCF do not notify the
secretary that JCF has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the plan
within 14 working days after the date of his or her submittal, the secretary may
implement the plan. If within 14 working days after the date of the submittal by the
secretary the cochairpersons notify him or her that JCF has scheduled a meeting for
the purpose of reviewing the plan, the secretary may implement the plan only with
the approval of JCF.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
