1999 Senate BILL 92

March 23, 1999 - Introduced by Senators Moen and Rude, cosponsored by Representatives Musser and Huebsch. Referred to Committee on Health, Utilities, Veterans and Military Affairs.

SB92,1,3 An Act to create 16.40 (20) and 20.505 (1) (ng) of the statutes; relating to: proceeds from the sale of forest products at Fort McCoy and making an appropriation.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current federal law authorizes the sale of forest products produced on land owned or leased by a federal military department. The state in which the military installation or facility from which the forest products are sold is located is entitled to a portion of the proceeds of the sale. The state's share must be used to benefit the public schools and public roads of the county in which the military installation or facility is situated.

This bill appropriates all moneys received by the state under this federal law from the sale of forest products at Fort McCoy in Monroe County to the department of administration (DOA). The bill directs DOA to distribute 50% of the amount received to the school districts located in Monroe County and the other 50% to Monroe County for the benefit of the public roads in that county.

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