Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Guide to nonstatutory material

As is the case for all other bills, the sections of the budget bill that affect statutes are organized in ascending numerical order of the statutes affected.

Treatments of prior session laws (styled "laws of [year], chapter ...." from 1848 to 1981, and "[year] Wisconsin Act ...." beginning with 1983) are displayed next by year of original enactment and by act number.

91XX Nonstatutory provisions.

92XX Appropriation changes.

For example, for general nonstatutory provisions relating to the historical society, see Section 9126. For any agency that is not assigned a two-digit identification number and that is attached to another agency, see the number of the latter agency. For any other agency not assigned a two-digit identification number or any provision that does not relate to the functions of a particular agency, see number "60" (other) within each type of provision.

In order to facilitate amendment drafting and the enrolling process, separate section numbers and headings appear for each type of provision and for each state agency, even if there are no provisions included in that section number and heading. Section numbers and headings for which there are no provisions will be deleted in enrolling and will not appear in the published act.
