Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Introduction
This bill is the “executive budget bill" under section 16.47 (1) of the statutes.
It contains the governor's recommendations for appropriations for the 2017-2019
fiscal biennium.
The bill repeals and recreates the appropriation schedule in chapter 20 of the
statutes, thereby setting the appropriation levels for the 2017-2019 fiscal biennium.
The descriptions that follow relate to the most significant changes in the law that are
proposed in the bill. In most cases, changes in the amounts of existing spending
authority and changes in the amounts of bonding authority under existing bonding
programs are not discussed.
For additional information concerning this bill, see the Department of
Administration's publication Budget in Brief and the executive budget books, the
Legislative Fiscal Bureau's summary document, and the Legislative Reference
Bureau's drafting files, which contain separate drafts on each policy item.
