DOA:......Frederick, BB0222 - Creating and Abolishing DETF Positions
For 2009-11 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2009 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Retirement and group insurance
Current law generally provides that state employee positions may only be created or abolished by law or in budget deliberations, by JCF, or by the governor with respect to positions funded with federal revenues. This bill authorizes the secretary of employee trust funds to create or abolish any position that is funded from revenues deposited in the public employee trust fund. To exercise this authority, the secretary must notify the governor and JCF in writing of his or her proposed action. If, within 14 working days after the date of the secretary's notification, the governor does not object or the cochairpersons of JCF do not notify the secretary that the committee has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the proposed action within 14 working days after the date of the secretary's notification, the position changes may be made as proposed by the secretary. If the governor objects to the proposed action within 14 working days after the date of the secretary's notification or the cochairpersons notify the secretary that JCF has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the proposed action, the position changes may be made only upon approval of JCF.
The bill also specifies that, if a position is created through this process, then the appropriation that is used to pay salary and fringe benefit costs for the position is supplemented to cover the increased salary and fringe benefit costs.
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. 16.50 (3) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:

If, within 14 working days after the date of the secretary's notification, the governor does not object to the proposed action and if the cochairpersons of the committee do not notify the secretary that the committee has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the proposed action within 14 working days after the date of the secretary's notification, the position changes may be made as proposed by the secretary. If the governor objects to the proposed action within 14 working days after the date of the secretary's notification or the cochairpersons notify the secretary that the committee has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the proposed action, the position changes may be made only upon approval of the committee.
(b) If a full-time equivalent position or portion thereof is created under par. (a), the appropriation that is used to pay salary and fringe benefit costs for the position is supplemented to cover the salary and fringe benefit costs for the position.
