2005 Senate BILL 540

January 31, 2006 - Introduced by Law Revision Committee. Referred to Committee on Veterans, Homeland Security, Military Affairs, Small Business and Government Reform.

SB540,1,5 An Act relating to: repealing, consolidating, renumbering, amending, and revising various provisions of the statutes for the purpose of correcting errors, supplying omissions, correcting and clarifying references, eliminating defects, anachronisms, conflicts, ambiguities, and obsolete provisions, reconciling conflicts, and repelling unintended repeals (Revisor's Correction Bill).

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This revisor's correction bill is explained in the Notes provided by the revisor of statutes in the body of the bill.

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

SB540, s. 1 Section 1. 14.16 (12) of the statutes, as created by 2003 Wisconsin Act 147, is renumbered 14.16 (12m).

Note: Confirms renumbering by the revisor under s. 13.93 (1) (b). 2003 Wis. Acts 137 and 147 both created provisions numbered s. 14.16 (12).

SB540, s. 2 Section 2. 20.455 (2) (kq) of the statutes, as affected by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, section 416g, is amended to read:

SB540,2,6 20.455 (2) (kq) County law enforcement services. The amounts in the schedule to provide grants to counties under s. 165.89. All moneys transferred from the appropriation account under sub. s. 20.505 (8) (hm) 15d. shall be credited to this appropriation account. Notwithstanding s. 20.001 (3) (a), the unencumbered balance on June 30 of each year shall revert to the appropriation account under s. 20.505 (8) (hm).

Note: 2005 Wis. Act 25, s. 416g, renumbered s. 20.505 (6) (kq) to 20.455 (2) (kq) but did not amend the cross-reference to 20.505 (8) (hm) 15d. accordingly.

SB540, s. 3 Section 3. The treatment of s. 20.485 (2) (q) of the statutes by 2005 Wisconsin Act 22 is not repealed by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25. Both treatments stand.

Note: There is no conflict of substance. As merged by the revisor, s. 20.485 (2) (dm), as renumbered from s. 20.485 (2) (q) by 2005 Wis. Act 25, reads:

(dm) Military funeral honors. Biennially, from the general fund, the amounts in the schedule to provide military funeral honors for veterans under s. 45.60.

SB540, s. 4 Section 4. 20.485 (2) (yn) of the statutes, as affected by 2005 Wisconsin Act 22, is amended to read:

SB540,3,2 20.485 (2) (yn) Veterans trust fund loans and expenses. Biennially, the amounts in the schedule for the purpose of providing loans under s. 45.42 and for the payment of expenses and other payments as a consequence of being a mortgagee or owner under home improvement loans made under s. 45.79 (7) (c), 1997 stats., or under s. 45.351 (2), 1995 stats., s. 45.352, 1971 stats., s. 45.356, 2003 stats., s. 45.80, 1989 stats., and s. 45.42. All moneys received under ss. 45.37 (7) (c) and 45.42 (8) (a) and (b) and 45.37 (7) (c) for the purpose of providing loans under the personal loan program under s. 45.42 shall be credited to this appropriation account. All payments of interest and repayments of principal for loans made under s. 45.351 (2), 1995 stats., s. 45.352, 1971 stats., s. 45.80, 1989 stats., s. 45.356, and 2003 stats., s. 45.79 (7) (c), 1997 stats., s. 45.80, 1989 stats., and s. 45.42 shall revert to the veterans trust fund.

Note: Prior to Act 22, s. 20.485 (2) (yn) contained 4 cross-references to s. 45.356. Act 22 amended 3 of these cross-references to reflect the fact that the act substantively recreated s. 45.356 as s. 45.42. However, Act 22 inadvertently left one cross-reference unamended and incompletely amended another. In each case, the cross-reference should have been amended to cite both s. 45.356, 2003 stats., and s. 45.42, so that in these places the provision would continue to refer to loans made prior to Act 22, under s. 45.356, and would also refer to post Act 22 loans made under new s. 45.42. Cross-references are placed in numerical order.

SB540, s. 5 Section 5. 36.34 (1) (c) 2. b. of the statutes, as affected by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, is amended to read:

SB540,3,11 36.34 (1) (c) 2. b. The appropriation for the first fiscal year of the next biennium shall be the result obtained by increasing, to the nearest $100, the base amount by the average of the percentage increases determined under subd. 2a. 2. a., except that, if the undergraduate academic fees for the next academic year are estimated to decrease or not change from the undergraduate academic fees charged for the current academic year at each institution specified in subd. 2a. 2. a., the appropriation shall be the base amount.

Note: Reinserts period deleted by 2005 Wis. Act 25 without being stricken. No change was intended. There is no s. 36.34 (1) (c) 2a. See also the note to the treatment of s. 36.34 (1) (c) 2bm. by this bill.

SB540, s. 6 Section 6. 36.34 (1) (c) 2am. of the statutes, as created by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, is renumbered 36.34 (1) (c) 2. am.

Note: Conforms renumbering by the revisor under s. 13.93 (1) (b). Inserts period to correct numbering consistent with the error in the treatment of s. 36.34 (1) (c) 2. b. in 2005 Wis. Act 25 and the correction of that error by this bill. See also the note to the treatment of s. 36.34 (1) (c) 2bm. by this bill.

SB540, s. 7 Section 7. 36.34 (1) (c) 2bm. of the statutes, as created by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, is renumbered 36.34 (1) (c) 2. bm. and amended to read:

SB540,4,5 36.34 (1) (c) 2. bm. The appropriation for the 2nd fiscal year of the next biennium shall be the result obtained by increasing, to the nearest $100, the base amount by the average of the percentage increases determined under subd. 2am. 2. am., except that, if the undergraduate academic fees for the academic year after the next academic year are estimated to decrease or not change from the estimated undergraduate academic fees charged for the next academic year at each institution specified under subd. 2am. 2. am., the appropriation shall be the base amount.

Note: Confirms renumbering by the revisor under s. 13.93 (1) (b). Inserts period to correct numbering consistent with the error in the treatment of s. 36.34 (1) (c) 2. b. in 2005 Wis. Act 25 and the correction of that error by this bill. Section 36.34 (1) (c) 2. provides the steps the board of regents must follow to calculate the amounts to be appropriated under s. 20.285 (4) (dd). Sections 36.34 (1) (c) 2am. and 2bm., as created by Act 25, are additional steps in the process and are logically placed with the provision as renumbered. As affected by 2005 Wis. Act 25 and this bill, s. 36.34 (1) (c) 2. reads:

2. Beginning in 2007, biennially, by February 1, the board shall calculate the amounts to be appropriated under s. 20.285 (4) (dd) for the next biennium as follows:

a. The board shall determine the percentage by which the undergraduate academic fees that will be charged for the next academic year at each institution within the University of Wisconsin System, as estimated by the board, will increase or decrease from the undergraduate academic fees charged for the current academic year.

am. The board shall determine the percentage by which the undergraduate academic fees that will be charged for the academic year after the next academic year at each institution within the University of Wisconsin System, as estimated by the board, will increase or decrease from the estimated undergraduate fees that will be charged for the next academic year.

b. The appropriation for the first fiscal year of the next biennium shall be the result obtained by increasing, to the nearest $100, the base amount by the average of the percentage increases determined under subd. 2. a., except that, if the undergraduate academic fees for the next academic year are estimated to decrease or not change from the undergraduate academic fees charged for the current academic year at each institution specified in subd. 2. a., the appropriation shall be the base amount.

bm. The appropriation for the 2nd fiscal year of the next biennium shall be the result obtained by increasing, to the nearest $100, the base amount by the average of the percentage increases determined under subd. 2. am., except that, if the undergraduate academic fees for the academic year after the next academic year are estimated to decrease or not change from the estimated undergraduate academic fees charged for the next academic year at each institution specified under subd. 2. am., the appropriation shall be the base amount.

SB540, s. 8 Section 8. 41.17 (5) of the statutes, as affected by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, is amended to read:

SB540,5,2 41.17 (5) Funding source. Subject to the 50% limitation under s. 20.380 (1) (b) and the proportional expenditure requirements under s. 20.380 (1) (b) and (kg), the department shall expend, from the appropriations under s. 20.380 (1) (b), (kg), and (v) (w), at least $1,130,000 in the aggregate in each fiscal year in joint effort marketing funds under this section.

Note: Corrects cross-reference. There is no s. 20.380 (1) (v). Section 20.380 (1) (w) was numbered s. 20.380 (1) (v) in 2005 Assembly Bill 100, as originally introduced, and was subsequently renumbered by Assembly Substitute Amendment 1, but the substitute amendment did not amend the cross-reference in this provision accordingly.

SB540, s. 9 Section 9. 46.07 of the statutes, as affected by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, is amended to read:

SB540,5,22 46.07 Property of patients or residents. All money including wages and other property delivered to an officer or employee of any institution for the benefit of a patient or resident shall immediately be delivered to the steward, who shall enter the money upon the steward's books to the credit of the patient or resident. The property shall be used only under the direction and with the approval of the superintendent and for the crime victim and witness assistance surcharge under s. 973.045 (4), the delinquency victim and witness assistance surcharge under s. 938.34 (8d) (c), the deoxyribonucleic acid analysis surcharge under s. 973.046, the drug offender diversion surcharge under s. 973.043, or the benefit of the patient or resident. If the money remains uncalled for for one year after the patient's or resident's death or departure from the institution, the superintendent shall deposit the money in the general fund. If any patient or resident leaves property, other than money, uncalled for at an institution for one year, the superintendent shall sell the property, and the proceeds shall be deposited in the general fund. If any person satisfies the department, within 5 years after the deposit, of his or her right to the deposit, the department shall direct the department of administration to draw its warrant in favor of the claimant and it shall charge the same to the appropriation made by s. 20.913 (3) (c).

Note: Adds inadvertently omitted word. Section 46.07 was amended by 2005 Wis. Act 25 for the purpose of inserting the reference to the drug offender diversion surcharge under s. 973.043. Other changes were intended only to conform the provision to current style. Thus, "the same" was replaced with "the money" in two places. Similarly, "forthwith" should have been replaced by "immediately," but instead was simply deleted. No substantive change was intended.

SB540, s. 10 Section 10. 46.283 (2) (b) (intro.) of the statutes, as affected by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, is amended to read:

SB540,6,11 46.283 (2) (b) (intro.) After June 30, 2001, the department shall contract with the entities specified under s. 46.281 (1) (d) 1. and may, if the applicable review conditions under s. 48.281 46.281 (1) (e) 2. are satisfied, in addition to contracting with these entities, contract to operate a resource center with counties, family care districts, or the governing body of a tribe or band or the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council, Inc., under a joint application of any of these, or with a private nonprofit organization if the department determines that the organization has no significant connection to an entity that operates a care management organization and if any of the following applies:

Note: Corrects cross-reference. There is no s. 48.281 (1) (e) 2. Section 46.281 (1) (e) 2. provides for joint committee on finance review of contracts with entities specified under s. 46.281 (1) (d).

SB540, s. 11 Section 11. 49.175 (1) (intro.) of the statutes, as affected by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, is amended to read:

SB540,6,17 49.175 (1) Allocation of funds. (intro.) Except as provided in sub. (2), within the limits of the appropriations under s. 20.445 (3) (a), (cm), (dz), (jm), (k), (kx), (L), (mc), (md), (me), and (s), the department shall allocate the following amounts for the following purposes:

Note: There is no s. 20.445 (3) (jm). The underscored comma was deleted by 2005 Wis. Act 25 without being stricken, but no change was intended.

SB540, s. 12 Section 12. 49.45 (6tw) of the statutes, as affected by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, section 2509, is amended to read:

SB540,7,6 49.45 (6tw) Payments to city health departments. From the appropriation account under s. 20.435 (7) (b), the department may make payments to local health departments, as defined under s. 250.02 250.01 (4) (a) 3. Payment under this subsection to such a local health department may not exceed on an annualized basis payment made by the department to the local health department under s. 49.45 (6t), 2003 stats., for services provided by the local health department in 2002.

Note: "Local health department" is defined under s. 250.01 (4) (a) 3. There is no 250.02 (4) (a) 3.

SB540, s. 13 Section 13. 49.497 (1m) (a) of the statutes, as created by 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, is amended to read:
