2005 - 2006 LEGISLATURE
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.

DOA:......Grinde, BB0427 - GPR spending limits
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
State government
State finance
Current statutes contain a rule of procedure governing legislative action on certain bills affecting general purpose revenue (GPR). Generally, the rule provides that the amount appropriated from GPR may not exceed the amount appropriated from GPR in the prior fiscal year, increased by any percentage increase in this state's aggregate personal income. There are a number of exclusions under current law from this GPR appropriation limitation. This bill provides that in the 2005-07 fiscal biennium, a GPR appropriation for county and municipal aid payments is excluded from the limitation. In addition, the bill provides that any amount appropriated to pay Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) unfunded liability obligations is excluded from the limitation.
Current statutes contain an additional rule that in fiscal year 2005-06 and in fiscal year 2006-07, the amount appropriated from GPR for state operations may generally not exceed the amount appropriated from GPR for state operations in fiscal year 2004-05, less $100,000,000. This bill eliminates the rule for fiscal year 2006-07 and excludes a number of appropriation expenditures from the calculation for fiscal year 2005-06.
