SENATE SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT 1, TO SENATE BILL 119

July 23, 2019 - Offered by Senator Bernier.

SB119-SSA1,1,2 An Act relating to: funding for housing grants to homeless individuals and families.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law authorizes the Joint Committee on Finance to supplement an agency's appropriation that is insufficient only if JCF finds that an emergency exists. This bill exempts from that requirement any request of the Department of Administration in the 2019-21 fiscal biennium for JCF to supplement the appropriation of DOA for grants to provide housing and associated supportive services to the homeless.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

SB119-SSA1,1 Section 1 . Nonstatutory provisions.

SB119-SSA1,2,3 (1) In the 2019-21 fiscal biennium, if the department of administration requests under s. 13.101 (3) that the joint committee on finance supplement the appropriation under s. 20.505 (7) (fm) for the purpose of providing grants under s. 16.306 (2) (a) to provide housing and associated supportive services to homeless individuals and families, the committee may supplement that appropriation for that purpose without finding that an emergency exists under s. 13.101 (3) (a) 1.
