2003 WISCONSIN ACT 296

An Act relating to: transfer of certain moneys by the Joint Committee on Finance for purposes of election administration.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

296,1 Section 1. Nonstatutory provisions.

(1) (a) In this subsection:

1. "Annual appropriation" has the meaning given in section 20.001 (3) (a) of the statutes.

2. "Biennial appropriation" has the meaning given in section 20.001 (3) (b) of the statutes.

3. "General purpose revenues" has the meaning given in section 20.001 (2) (a) of the statutes.

(b) The elections board and the department of administration shall request the joint committee on finance to transfer appropriated moneys from the appropriation account for any annual or biennial appropriation that is funded from general purpose revenues to the appropriation account under section 20.510 (1) (d) of the statutes, as created by 2003 Wisconsin Act .... (Assembly Bill 601), in the amount necessary to enable this state to receive the maximum amount of federal aid that this state is entitled to receive for the administration of P.L. 107-252 in the 2003-05 fiscal biennium, but not exceeding a total of $1,496,000. In making the request, the department shall identify specific sources derived from general purpose revenues from which transfers may be made without changing legislative intent concerning expenditure of moneys from the sources. The committee may then make transfers in accordance with section 13.101 (4) of the statutes in response to the request, but the committee may make transfers derived from appropriated moneys in annual or biennial appropriation accounts funded from general purpose revenues other than those identified or may transfer amounts that are different than those recommended.
