Driver education grant program funding
Under current law, DOT administers a program to make grants to providers of driver education courses and is appropriated moneys from the transportation fund for that purpose. Under current law, OCI is appropriated moneys for general program operations. At the end of each fiscal year, the unencumbered balance in that appropriation account that exceeds 10 percent of the fiscal year’s expenditures from that appropriation account is lapsed to the general fund.
This bill modifies the DOT appropriation to be from the general fund, from the amounts lapsed from the OCI appropriation account, but not to exceed $6,000,000 in a fiscal year.
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:
Section 1. 20.395 (5) (eq) of the statutes is renumbered 20.395 (5) (ep) and amended to read:
20.395 (5) (ep) Driver education grants, state funds. As a continuing appropriation, from the general fund, the amounts in the schedule for driver education grants. All moneys lapsed to the general fund under s. 20.145 (1) (g), but not to exceed to $6,000,000 in a fiscal year, shall be credited to this appropriation account.
****Note: This Section involves a change in an appropriation that must be reflected in the revised schedule in s. 20.005, stats.
