Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill makes all of the following changes relating to state finances during the
2010-11 fiscal year:
1. The bill repeals all lapse requirements under 2011 Wisconsin Act 10 relating
to lapses from state agencies, the office of the governor, the legislature, and the courts
that were intended to capture employer savings from fringe benefit changes under
that act.
2. 2007 Wisconsin Act 20 required that $200,000,000 be lapsed or transferred
to the general fund during the 2009-11 fiscal biennium. 2011 Wisconsin Act 13
reduced this amount to $121,000,000. This bill further reduces this amount to
$67,000,000.
3. In Wisconsin Medical Society, Inc. v. Morgan, 2010 WI 94, the court held that
a transfer of $200,000,000 from the injured patients and families compensation fund
to the Medical Assistance trust fund, which was required by 2007 Wisconsin Act 20,

was unconstitutional. The bill transfers $235,000,000 by June 30, 2012, from the
general fund to the injured patients and families compensation fund. The
transferred moneys must be used for the purpose of paying the amount ordered by
the court in Wisconsin Medical Society, Inc. v. Morgan.
4. The bill increases the amount that the Department of Health Services (DHS)
is authorized to spend in fiscal year 2010-11 from the Medical Assistance
appropriation account that derives from general purpose revenue to pay for certain
services under the Medical Assistance program and to pay capitation payments to
care management organizations and other entities that provide services to medical
assistance recipients under a managed care system for services provided to
individuals enrolled in care management organizations and managed care systems.
The bill decreases the amount that DHS is authorized to spend in fiscal year 2011-12
from that appropriation account.
5. The bill decreases the amount that DHS is authorized to spend from the
appropriation account that is derived from general purpose revenue and that
provides moneys for community aids, including certain long-term care services.
6. The bill reduces the general purpose revenue funds general program
supplements appropriation to the Joint Committee on Finance by $4,590,400.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
