Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

The proposal ratifies the collective bargaining contract for state employees in the program, project, and teaching assistants of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee collective bargaining unit negotiated for the 2001-03 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.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
