AB1018,1,3
1An Act to repeal 1995 Wisconsin Act 27, section
9108 (7); and
to amend 20.866
2(2) (ux) of the statutes;
relating to: the funding of a prison expansion project
3under the state building program and granting bonding authority.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
1995 Wisconsin Act 27 increased the general obligation bonding authority for
state building program capital costs by $25,000,000 for a prison expansion project.
Under the act, the state building commission may not authorize the contracting of
public debt for the prison expansion project unless the state receives federal funding
for the project.
This bill increases the general obligation bonding authority for the prison
expansion project by $50,000,000, from $25,000,000 to $75,000,000. The bill also
eliminates the requirement in
1995 Wisconsin Act 27 that the state receive federal
funding for the prison expansion project before the building commission may
authorize the contracting of public debt for the prison expansion project. The bill
does not change the authority of the building commission under current law to
substitute federal funds in whole or in part for the borrowing authority provided
under the bill for the prison expansion project. Finally, the bill requires the
department of corrections to seek to identify and secure federal funding for the prison
expansion project.
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:
