16.526 Payment of the state's unfunded liabilities under the Wisconsin Retirement System; revenue obligations. (1) For purposes of subch. II of ch. 18, the purposes of obtaining proceeds to pay the state's anticipated unfunded prior service liability under s. 40.05 (2) (b) and of paying the state's unfunded prior service liability under s. 40.05 (2) (b) and the state's unfunded liability under s. 40.05 (4) (b), (bc), and (bw) and subch.

(4) The department may enter into agreements with the federal government or its agencies, political subdivisions of this state, individuals, or private entities to insure, or in any other manner provide, additional security for the revenue obligations issued under this section.
(5) (a) Subject to the limitation under par.

II of ch. 18 pursuant to this section, the legislature shall make an appropriation from the general fund sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the obligations or to replenish a reserve fund, if applicable.

The income from the principal proceeds of the securities shall be applied solely to the payment of the principal of and interest and redemption premiums on the obligations being refinanced, but provision may be made for the pledging and disposition of any surplus.

(8) Fiscal regulations. (a) The department shall act as registrar for each evidence of appropriation obligation. No transfer of a registered evidence of appropriation obligation is valid unless made on a register maintained by the department, and the state may treat the registered owner as the owner of the instrument for all purposes.

The secretary may be denominated the trustee and the sole fiscal agent or a cofiscal agent for any issue of appropriation obligations. Every other fiscal agent shall be an incorporated bank or trust company authorized by the laws of the United States or of the state in which it is located to do a banking or trust company business. There may be deposited with a trustee, in a special account, moneys to be used only for the purposes expressly provided in the certification authorizing the issuance of evidences of appropriation obligation or an agreement between the department and the trustee. The department may make other provisions respecting trustees and fiscal agents as the department considers necessary or useful and may enter into a contract with any trustee or fiscal agent containing such terms, including compensation, and conditions in regard to the trustee or fiscal agent as the department considers necessary or useful.
(d) If any evidence of appropriation obligation is destroyed, lost, or stolen, the department shall execute and deliver a new evidence of appropriation obligation, upon filing with the department evidence satisfactory to the department that the evidence of appropriation obligation has been destroyed, lost, or stolen, upon providing proof of ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the department with indemnity satisfactory to it and complying with such other rules of the department and paying any expenses that the department may incur.
