relating to:

2
payments to the federal government if federal aid to the state is withheld

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, if the secretary of administration determines that federal aid to Wisconsin that was previously authorized under an act of Congress is being withheld under an executive order of the president of the United States or in contravention of a court order, the secretary must do all of the following:
1. Determine the approximate amount of federal aid the state is being or is expected to be deprived of as the result of the executive order or contravention of the court order.
2. No later than 60 days after the date of the executive order or court order, submit a report to the governor and the legislature that describes in detail the amount of federal aid the state is being or is expected to be deprived of as the result of the executive order or contravention of the court order and identifies all moneys the state must pay to the federal government for any reason during the succeeding 12 months after the report is submitted.
3. Withhold the payment to the federal government of those identified moneys in a total amount not to exceed the approximate amount of federal aid the state is being or is expected to be deprived of.
4. Authorize the payment to the federal government of those withheld moneys upon the state’s receipt of all federal aid previously withheld under the executive order or in contravention of the court order.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
