The Honorable, The Legislature:
The department is pleased to submit the 1994 Annual Report on the Status of Bilingual-Bicultural Education programs, as required under s.
115.996, Wisconsin Statutes.
The report provides a review of the state's administration and funding of bilingual education in Wisconsin and factors contributing to program expansion and the resulting continuously lower annual reimbursement rates for school districts. The number of pupils served from minority languages, the locations of the state-funded programs during the 1994 fiscal year (July 1, 1993, through June 30, 1994), and staff-related data are included in the report to inform those with responsibilities for ensuring the continued success of bilingual education programs in Wisconsin. I am confident that you will find the report informational, useful and of concern given the rising numbers of pupils to be served absent a corresponding increase in fiscal support by the state.
If you have questions on any aspect of this report, please contact Dr. William J. Erpenbach, director, divisonwide planning and process, 267-1072. He will be happy to discuss these with you at your convenience.
Sincerely,
John T. Benson

The Honorable, The Legislature:
Pursuant to the requirements of section 153.20, Wis. Stats., we are pleased to submit to the Governor and the Legislature Uncompensated Health Care, Wisconsin Hospitals, FY 1994. This report, prepared by the Office of Health Care Information, sets forth the total charges for charity care, bad debt, and total uncompensated health care for hospital fiscal year 1994; the projected total charges for hospital fiscal year 1995; the number of patients receiving uncompensated health care for hospital fiscal year 1994; and the projected number of patients who will receive uncompensated health care in hospital fiscal year 1995.
The information contained in this report was obtained from data submitted by Wisconsin hospitals on their annual FY 1994 Hospital Uncompensated Health Care Plan and their annual FY 1994 Hospital Fiscal Survey.
Sincerely,
Josephine W. Musser
Commissioner of Insurance

The Honorable, The Legislature:
Pursuant to a nonstatutory provision under 1993 Wisconsin ACT 352, and in the manner provided under s.
13.172(2), Wisconsin Statutes, the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is pleased to submit a report to the Legislature on its study of the extent of predatory pricing of prescription drugs and unfair discrimination in drug pricing.
Approximately 29,000 separate wholesale drug purchase transactions were analyzed and compared as part of the study. Although no predatory pricing activities could be demonstrated, the study does conclude that some sellers may be engaged in drug price discrimination under s.
100.31, Wisconsin Statutes.
Please contact Paul Dingee, Trade Practices Section Chief, at 224-4925 if you have any questions regarding this report.
Sincerely,
alan T. tracy
