Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill decreases various sum certain appropriations, lapses certain moneys
from program revenue accounts to the general fund, transfers moneys from certain
segregated funds to the general fund, and increases funding for certain purposes.
Some specific provisions include:
This bill increases by $22,211,700 the transfer of moneys in fiscal year 2002-03
from the transportation fund to the general fund. The bill also specifies that this
transfer may occur without any order for payment by the secretary of transportation.
This bill transfers $3,000,000 from the recycling fund, $4,700,000 from the
utility public benefits fund, and $3,000,000 from the universal service fund to the
general fund.
Under current law, the Department of Corrections (DOC) may contract with
other states or local governments or private persons in other states for the
confinement of prisoners in those states. This bill increases the amount
appropriated to DOC for such contracts. The bill also increases the amount
appropriated to DOC for health care costs for inmates of state prisons.
This bill lapses $1,900,000 from a nonlapsing appropriation for state park and
forest roads and roads in the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway to the general fund.
This bill reduces by specific amounts the largest sum certain appropriation for
state operations of certain state agencies from general purpose revenue in the
2002-03 fiscal year. However, any such agency, no later than 14 days after the
effective date of this bill, may submit an alternative plan to the secretary of
administration concerning the agency's preference for allocating reductions among
sum certain appropriations made to the agency from general purpose revenue. If the
secretary does not approve the plan, the agency shall make the reductions from the
agency's largest sum certain appropriation for state operations. If the secretary
approves the plan, he or she shall submit the plan to the Joint Committee on Finance
no later than 21 days after the effective date of this bill. If the cochairpersons of the
committee do not notify the secretary that the committee has scheduled a meeting
for the purpose of reviewing the plan to be held within 14 working days after the date
of the secretary's submittal, the agency shall make the reductions specified in the
plan. If the cochairpersons of the committee notify the secretary that the committee
has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the plan to be held within 14
working days after the date of the secretary's submittal, the agency may not
implement the plan until it is approved by the committee, as submitted or as
modified.
This bill requires the Department of Administration (DOA) to lapse moneys to
the general fund from a number of program revenue appropriation accounts. The
appropriations are made to the following state agencies: the departments of
Administration, Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, Commerce,
Electronic Government, Financial Institutions, Health and Family Services, Justice,
Public Instruction, and Regulation and Licensing; the Historical Society; and the
Office of the Commissioner of Insurance. The bill also requires DOA to reduce
appropriations for program supplements from general purpose revenue during the
2002-03 fiscal year by $929,800.
This bill decreases certain segregated fund appropriations and requires that
moneys in the amount of these decreases be transferred to the general fund from the
segregated funds from which the appropriations are made. The appropriations are
made to the following state agencies: the departments of Administration,
Commerce, Natural Resources, and Veterans Affairs; the Tobacco Control Board; and
the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance.
This bill requires the cochairpersons of the Joint Committee on Legislative
Organization to take actions during the 2001-03 fiscal biennium to ensure that from
general purpose revenue appropriations for state operations to the legislature an
amount equal to $2,959,800 is lapsed from sum certain appropriation accounts or is
subtracted from the expenditure estimates for any other types of appropriations, or
both.
Under current law, there is appropriated to the governor certain sum sufficient
and sum certain appropriations of general purpose revenues. This bill requires the
governor to take action to ensure that from the general purpose revenue
appropriations for state operations to the Office of the Governor $175,600 is lapsed
from sum certain appropriation accounts or is subtracted from the expenditure
estimates for any other types of appropriations, or both.
This bill requires the Department of Commerce to lapse an amount determined
by the secretary of commerce from the primary program revenues appropriation
account for the Wisconsin development fund and decreases the primary general
purpose revenues appropriation for the Wisconsin development fund by an amount
determined by the secretary of commerce. The total of the lapse and the decrease
must be $7,000,000.
Under current federal and state law, Medical Assistance (MA) is a
federal-state, jointly funded program that provides reimbursement for health care
services provided to aged, blind, disabled, and certain other MA recipients, who have
few assets and low income. The Badger Care program operates under a waiver of
federal MA laws to provide MA health services and benefits to low-income families.
Under current law, the MA trust fund consists of federal MA moneys received, based
on public funds that are transferred under federal law and used as the nonfederal
share of MA funding. This bill increases funding for MA from the MA trust fund by
$64,402,900 in fiscal year 2002-03, decreases general purpose revenue funding for
MA by $9,587,000 in fiscal year 2002-03, and increases general purpose revenue
funding for Badger Care from the MA trust fund by $9,587,000 in fiscal year
2002-03.
Under current law, the Tobacco Control Board must distribute from the tobacco
control fund $1,000,000 to the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin
System for the Tobacco Research and Intervention Center at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. The Tobacco Control Board may distribute other moneys from
the tobacco control fund as grants for programs for tobacco use reduction, cessation,
and prevention. This bill limits amounts that the Tobacco Control Board may
distribute from the tobacco control fund for the Tobacco Research and Intervention
Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in fiscal year 2002-03 to the
required $1,000,000 distribution and to no more than $1,000,000 for a telephone
response system for smokers who are attempting to cease smoking.
Current law grants the state bonding authority to acquire and develop land for
various conservation purposes under the stewardship program. The program is
administered by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Under current law,
DNR is appropriated a specified amount from the conservation fund for the purpose
of paying principal and interest costs incurred in financing land acquisition and
development under the stewardship program. This bill increases the amount
appropriated to DNR for this purpose in fiscal year 2003-04 by $4,000,000.
Current statutes specify a rule of procedure that the legislature must follow in
passing legislation. The rule provides that no bill may be adopted by the legislature
if the bill would cause in any fiscal year the amount of expenditures from the general
fund to exceed the sum of the amount of taxes and departmental revenues that are
deposited in to the general fund for that fiscal year. The bill provides that this rule
does not apply to the legislature in adopting this bill. (As a rule of procedure, the
required general fund structural balance may not be legally enforced, but may
nonetheless be effective in governing the internal operations of the legislature.)
Current statutes specify an additional rule of procedure that the legislature
must follow in passing legislation. The rule provides that no bill may be adopted by
the legislature if the bill would cause the estimated general fund balance on June 30,
2003, to be an amount less than 1.2% of the total general purpose revenue
appropriations for that fiscal year plus any amount from general purpose revenue
designated as "Compensation Reserves" for that fiscal year in the schedule summary.
The bill provides that this rule does not apply to the legislature in adopting this bill.
(As a rule of procedure, the required general fund structural balance may not be
legally enforced, but may nonetheless be effective in governing the internal
operations of the legislature.)
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
