Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Introduction
This bill is the "executive budget bill" under section 16.47 (1) of the statutes.
It contains the governor's recommendations for appropriations from the general
fund and from segregated funds for the 1997-99 fiscal biennium.
The bill repeals and recreates the appropriation schedule in chapter 20 of the
statutes, thereby setting the appropriation levels for the 1997-99 fiscal biennium.
The descriptions that follow relate to the most significant changes in the law
proposed in the bill. In most cases, changes in the amounts of existing spending
authority and changes in the amounts of bonding authority under existing bonding
programs are not discussed.
For the fiscal impact of this bill refer to the publication Budget in Brief issued
by the department of administration.
For additional information concerning this bill, see the department of
administration's executive budget books, the legislative fiscal bureau's summary
document and the legislative reference bureau's drafting files that contain separate
drafts on each policy item. In most cases, the policy item drafts contain a more
detailed analysis than is printed with this bill.

Treatments of prior session laws (styled "laws of [year], chapter ...." from 1848
to 1981, and "[year] Wisconsin Act ...." beginning with 1983) are displayed next by
year of original enactment and by act number.
