Employment
The bill requires that certain unencumbered moneys in a certain Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission appropriation account lapse to the general fund at the close of each fiscal year. This appropriation account funds the cost of fact-finding, mediation, certification, and arbitration functions, providing transcript copies and preparing certain publications, operating training programs, and conducting state civil service appeals. Under current law, these moneys remain in this appropriation account and do not lapse to the general fund.
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

20.425 (1) (i) Fees, collective bargaining training, publications, and appeals. The amounts in the schedule for the performance of fact-finding, mediation, certification, and arbitration functions, for the provision of copies of transcripts, for the cost of operating training programs under ss. 111.09 (3), 111.71 (5m), and 111.94 (3), for the preparation of publications, transcripts, reports, and other copied material, and for costs related to conducting appeals under s. 230.45.
