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.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
