Fees for licensure of school and public library personnel; appropriation changes
Under current law, 90 percent of the fees collected by DPI for licensure of school and public library personnel and for school districts' participation in DPI's teacher improvement program are credited to an annual sum certain appropriation. The remaining 10 percent of these fees are deposited into the general fund under current law. This bill changes this annual sum certain appropriation to a continuing appropriation and requires that 100 percent of the total fees collected by DPI be credited to the appropriation. An annual sum certain appropriation is expendable only up to the amount shown in the schedule and only for the fiscal year for which it is made. A continuing appropriation is expendable until fully depleted or repealed.
Under current law and the bill, the purposes of the appropriation are for 1) DPI's administrative costs related to licensure of school and public library personnel; 2) if DPI exercises its authority to provide information and analysis of the professional school personnel supply in this state, the costs of providing that information and analysis; and 3) DPI's teacher improvement program.
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:
