Storm water management
Under current law, a person may need to obtain a storm water discharge permit from DNR, and pay a permit fee, in order to discharge storm water. Current law appropriates money annually from the general fund for the administration, including enforcement, of the storm water discharge permit program (storm water permit appropriation). An annual appropriation is expendable only up to the amount shown in the schedule and only for the fiscal year for which made. Storm water permit fees collected by DNR are credited to the storm water permit appropriation.
This bill changes the storm water permit appropriation from an annual to a continuing appropriation, which is an appropriation that is expendable until fully depleted or repealed by subsequent action of the legislature. Under this bill, the storm water permit appropriation is still funded by all moneys received from storm water permit fees.
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. 20.370 (9) (bj) of the statutes is amended to read:

All moneys received under s. 283.33 (9) and under 2009 Wisconsin Act 28, section 9110 (11f) shall be credited to this appropriation account.
