Two appropriations exist under current law that provide DNR with funding from the Conservation Fund for general program operations relating to conservation activities, such as fish and game management and the operation of state parks and forests. One of these appropriations provides funding for the management and protection of the state's fishery resources and the other appropriation provides funding for program operations that relate to the rest of these conservation activities. This bill takes out of this more general appropriation the funding for DNR general program operations that relate to forestry protection and management and creates a separate appropriation for this funding.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

Currently, the Educational Approval Board (EAB) is authorized to inspect and approve private trade, correspondence, business, and technical schools to protect the students, prevent fraud, and encourage accepted educational standards at these schools.

This bill requires EAB to collect a fee from these schools to cover the losses that students, parents, or sponsors incur if a school closes unexpectedly. The bill gives EAB authority to use the collected fees to pay all or part of the losses incurred by students, parents, or sponsors if a school closes unexpectedly.

Currently, members of the Wisconsin National Guard, except officers and members with baccalaureate degrees, are eligible for tuition grants for reimbursement of college or technical college tuition. The grant is equal to the lessor of 100% of the actual tuition charged or 100% of the maximum resident undergraduate tuition charged by the UW-Madison for a comparable number of credits. To receive a grant, the member must satisfactorily complete the course at the UW-Extension or a campus of the UW System, an accredited institution of higher education, or a technical college in this state (qualifying school).
This bill limits the amount of the tuition grant reimbursement to the lesser of the actual tuition charged by the school or 100% of the average resident undergraduate tuition charged by the institutions in the UW System for a comparable number of credits. Under the bill, the qualifying schools are expanded to include public institutions of higher education under the Minnesota-Wisconsin student reciprocity agreement or under an interstate agreement that the Educational Communications Board approves.
In addition, the bill limits the accredited institutions of higher education for which the national guard member may receive tuition reimbursement to those institutions that are located in this state and to those institutions that are subject to the interstate agreement or to the Minnesota-Wisconsin reciprocity agreement.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
