Generally, the rule provides that no bill directly or indirectly affecting general purpose revenues may be adopted if the bill would cause the estimated general fund balance on June 30 of any fiscal year to be less than a certain amount of the total general purpose revenue appropriations for that fiscal year. For fiscal year 2005-06, the amount is $75,000,000; and for fiscal year 2006-07 and each fiscal year thereafter, the amount is 2 percent of total general purpose revenue appropriations for that fiscal year.
This bill provides that for fiscal year 2005-06, the amount is $65,000,000; for 2006-07, the amount is $65,000,000; for fiscal year 2007-08, the amount is $65,000,000; for fiscal year 2008-09, the amount is $65,000,000; and for 2009-10 and each fiscal year thereafter, the amount is 2 percent of total general purpose revenue appropriations for that fiscal year.

DOA:......Hummert, BB0404 - Financing for unemployment insurance administration
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: financing of unemployment insurance administration and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
EMPLOYMENT
Currently, the federal government provides regular grants to this state for the purpose of financing the cost of administration of unemployment insurance (UI). In addition, the federal government provides special grants to this state that may be used for the purpose of administration of UI, for the payment of UI benefits, or for certain other purposes. Currently, only the first $2,389,107 of the moneys in a special grant for federal fiscal year 2002 may be used for UI administration. This bill permits all of the moneys received in the special grant for federal fiscal year 2002 to be used for UI administration, but only after all available moneys provided to this state in regular federal grants are first used for that purpose. The bill further provides that none of the moneys in any special federal grant for federal fiscal years 2000, 2001, or 2002 may be encumbered or expended after September 30, 2007.
The change potentially increases the liability of employers to finance UI benefits through contributions (taxes).
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 20.445 (1) (nc) of the statutes is amended to read:
20.445 (1) (nc) Unemployment insurance administration; special federal moneys. All moneys received from the federal government under section 903 of the federal Social Security Act, as amended, for federal fiscal years 2000 and, 2001, and the first $2,389,107 of the moneys received from the federal government under that act for federal fiscal year 2002, as authorized by the governor under s. 16.54, to be used for administration of unemployment insurance. No moneys may be encumbered or expended from this appropriation until all moneys available for the purpose of administration of unemployment insurance under par. (n) have been encumbered or expended. No moneys may be encumbered or expended from this appropriation after September 30, 2007.
