par. (a) would cause the general fund balance on June 30 of the fiscal year to be less than the general fund balance that is required under
s. 20.003 (4) for that fiscal year, the secretary shall reduce the amount transferred under
par. (a) to the amount that would cause the general fund balance to be equal to the minimum general fund balance that is required under

In all cases the date of the contract or order governs the fiscal year to which the contract or order is chargeable, unless the secretary determines that the purpose of the contract or order is to prevent lapsing of appropriations or to otherwise circumvent budgetary intent. Upon such approval, the secretary shall immediately encumber all contracts or orders, and indicate the fiscal year to which they are chargeable.

s. 40.05 (2) (b) and the state's unfunded liability under
s. 40.05 (4) (b),
(bc), and
(bw) and
subch. IX of ch. 40 is a special fund program, and the excise tax fund is a special fund. The legislature finds and determines that the excise tax fund is a segregated fund consisting of fees, penalties, or excise taxes and that the special program to pay the state's unfunded prior service liability under
s. 40.05 (2) (b) and the state's unfunded liability under
s. 40.05 (4) (b),
(bc), and
(bw) and
subch. IX of ch. 40 from the net proceeds of revenue obligations issued under this section is appropriate and will serve a public purpose.
16.526(2)
(2) The net proceeds of revenue obligations issued under
subch. II of ch. 18, as authorized under this section, shall be deposited in a fund in the state treasury, or an account maintained by a trustee, created under
s. 18.57 (1). The moneys shall be applied for ancillary payments and for the provision of reserves, as determined by the building commission, and for the payment of part or all of the state's unfunded prior service liability under
s. 40.05 (2) (b) and the state's unfunded liability under
s. 40.05 (4) (b),
(bc), and
(bw) and
subch. IX of ch. 40, as determined by the department, and any remainder shall be paid into a retirement liability obligation redemption fund created under 18.562 (3).
16.526(3)
(3) The department shall have all powers necessary and convenient to distribute the excise tax fund revenues and to distribute the proceeds of the revenue obligations issued under this section in accordance with
subch. II of ch. 18.
16.526(4)
(4) The department may enter into agreements with the federal government or its agencies, political subdivisions of this state, individuals, or private entities to insure, or in any other manner provide, additional security for the revenue obligations issued under this section.
16.526(5)(a)(a) Subject to the limitation under
par. (b), the building commission may contract revenue obligations, payable from the excise tax fund, under this section in the maximum amount that the building commission believes can be fully paid on a timely basis from moneys received or anticipated to be received in the excise tax fund.
16.526(5)(b)
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the requirements for funds obtained to pay the state's anticipated unfunded prior service liability under
s. 40.05 (2) (b) and funds used for the payment of the state's unfunded prior service liability under
s. 40.05 (2) (b) and the state's unfunded liability under
s. 40.05 (4) (b),
(bc), and
(bw) and
subch. IX of ch. 40, that are to be paid from revenue obligations issued under this section, shall be determined by the secretary. The sum of revenue obligations issued under this section and appropriation obligations issued under
s. 16.527, if any, excluding any appropriation obligations that have been defeased under a cash optimization program administered by the building commission and any appropriation obligations issued pursuant to
s. 16.527 (3) (b) 3., shall not exceed $1,500,000,000.
16.526(6)
(6) Unless otherwise expressly provided in resolutions authorizing the issuance of revenue obligations under this section or in other agreements with the owners of revenue obligations, each issue of revenue obligations under this section shall be on a parity with every other revenue obligation issued under this section and in accordance with
subch. II of ch. 18.
16.526(7)
(7) As determined by the building commission, any moneys deposited in the excise tax fund that are not required for the retirement of revenue obligations and providing for reserves and for ancillary payments authorized to be paid from such moneys are transferred to the general fund.
16.526(8)
(8) Recognizing its moral obligation to do so, the legislature expresses its expectation and aspiration that, if the funds in the excise tax fund are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the revenue obligations issued under
subch. II of ch. 18 pursuant to this section, the legislature shall make an appropriation from the general fund sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the obligations or to replenish a reserve fund, if applicable.
