DOA:......Walker, BB0340 - Remove Fox River navigation system appropriations
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Natural Resources
Navigable waters
Current law provides that the Fox River management commission (river commission), is authorized to enter into agreements with the federal government to operate and manage the Fox River navigational system which includes locks, harbors, and other facilities related to navigation that are on or near the Fox River.
Current law provides that if the Fox River navigational system is transferred from the federal government to the state the Fox River Navigational Authority (authority) is required to take over the rehabilitation, repair, replacement, operation, and maintenance of the system. Current law provides that once the system is transferred to the state, the state in turn will enter into a lease with the authority to transfer the system to the authority.
Because the system has been transferred to the state, and the state has entered into a lease with the authority to transfer the system to the authority, this draft eliminates the the river commission and its authority to enter into agreements with the federal government to operate and manage the Fox River navigational system.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

DOA:......Statz, BB0346 - County and county-tribal law enforcement grants
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
state government
Other state government
Under current law, a county that has a federally recognized Indian reservation within or partly within its boundaries may develop a cooperative county-tribal law enforcement program with a tribe located in the county. The county and the tribe may apply for and receive aid from DOJ for the program. The Office of Justice Assistance (OJA) administers a separate grant program to fund county law enforcement services in counties that border Indian reservations. A county is eligible for a grant under the OJA program only if: 1) the county demonstrates a need for those services; 2) there is a neighboring tribe with which the county does not have a county-tribal law enforcement agreement; and 3) the county meets criteria established by rule by OJA. Both of these grant programs are funded from Indian gaming receipts.
This bill makes OJA responsible for administering the cooperative county-tribal grant program and extends its applicability to cases in which a county borders a reservation. At the same time the bill eliminates the existing OJA grant program for counties that border Indian reservations.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
