SB344,1,4 An Act relating to: ratification of an amendment to the agreement negotiated between the state of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State Attorneys Association, Inc., for the 1997-99 biennium, covering employes in the professional legal collective bargaining unit, and authorizing an expenditure of funds.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This proposal is introduced under section 111.92 (1) of the statutes. The proposal ratifies an amendment to the collective bargaining contract for state employes in the professional legal 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 the amendment to this agreement.

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