Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Groundwater Coordinating Council is attached to the
Department of Natural Resources and advises and assists state agencies in the
coordination of nonregulatory programs and the exchange of information related to
groundwater. The council is made up of several members, including the DNR
secretary and the president of the University of Wisconsin System.
This bill appropriates $500,000 each to DNR and to the Board of Regents of the
UW System for their respective activities related to the Groundwater Coordinating
Council.
The bill also provides additional funding for higher education and for special
education aid the Department of Public Instruction pays to school districts,
independent charter schools, cooperative educational service agencies, and county
children with disabilities education boards for purposes of maintaining compliance
with maintenance of effort requirements of the federal Consolidated Appropriations
Act and the federal American Rescue Plan Act.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
