An Act

to amend
20.445 (1) (aL) of the statutes;
relating to:

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law appropriates funding to the Department of Workforce Development for various costs associated with drug testing under the unemployment insurance law, with the unspent funds being directed to the unemployment program integrity fund at the end of every fiscal year. This bill allows this funding to also be used for costs associated with identity proofing of claimants for which federal funding is unavailable.
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:
AB650,1
