To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The following rule has been published in the January 31, 2007 Wisconsin Administrative
Register No. 613:
Clearinghouse Rules Effective Date(s)
06-038
2-1-2007
Sincerely,
GARY L. POULSON
Assistant Revisor of Statutes
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration

The Honorable, the Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by s.
20.002(11)(f), Wisconsin Statutes, (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under s.
13.172(3), Wisconsin Statutes, and confirms that the Department of Administration has found it necessary to exercise the "temporary reallocation of balances" authority provided by this section in order to meet payment responsibilities and cover resulting negative cash balances during the month of December 2006.
On December 5, 2006, the General Fund cash balance closed at a negative $333.0 million. This negative balance continued through December 28, 2006, when the fund's cash balance closed at a positive $116.5 million. The General Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $547.0 million on December 7, 2006. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On December 1, 2006, the
Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance closed at a negative $8.5 million. This negative balance continued through December 31, 2006, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $5.4 million. The
Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $8.5 million on December 1, 2006.
2005 Wisconsin Act 211 authorizes the fiscal year 2007 transfer of $25.4 million from the
General Fund to the
Medical Assistance Trust Fund, which will offset this cash deficiency.
On December 1, 2006, the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund cash balance closed at a negative $1.0 thousand. This negative balance continued through December 31, 2006, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $1.0 thousand. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On December 27, 2006, the Wisconsin Building Trust Fund cash balance closed at a negative $1.3 million. This negative balance continued through December 31, 2006, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $1.6 million. The Wisconsin Building Trust Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $1.6 million on December 29, 2006. The negative balance was due to a delayed cash transfer from the University of Wisconsin.
On December 1, 2006, the Worker's Compensation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $2.8 million. This negative balance continued through December 31, 2006, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $3.5 million. The Worker's Compensation Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $3.5 million on December 6, 2006. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The General Fund, Medical Assistance Trust Fund, Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund, Wisconsin Building Trust Fund and Worker's Compensation Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitations and did not exceed the balances of the funds available for interfund borrowing.
The distribution of interest earnings to investment pool participants is based on the average daily balance in the pool and each fund's share. Therefore, the monthly calculation by the State Controller's Office will automatically reflect the use of these temporary reallocations of balance authority, and as a result, the funds requiring the use of the authority will effectively bear the interest cost.
Sincerely,
Michael L. Morgan
Secretary
