Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This proposal is introduced under section 111.92 (1) of the statutes. The proposal ratifies the collective bargaining contract for state employes in the law enforcement collective bargaining unit negotiated for the 1997-99 biennium under the state employment labor relations act. Currently, statutory program supplement appropriations fund the costs of collective bargaining agreements to the extent that they exceed budgeted costs. The proposal authorizes expenditure of moneys from those appropriations to fund the cost of this agreement.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
