The Honorable, the Senate:
I have approved Senate Bill 1015 as 2023 Wisconsin Act 97 and have deposited it in the Office of the Secretary of State. I have exer~ised the partial veto in sections 1 [as it relates to s. 20.435 (1) (bd)], 2, and 4. This bill would transfer $15,000,000 SEG from the state building trust fund to the general fund for fiscal year 2023-24. In addition, the bill would eliminate a $15,000,000 SEG appropriation for a Building Commission grant made during the 2021-22 fiscal year. Further, the bill would increase the supplemental appropriation to the Joint Committee on Finance by $15,000,000 GPR for fiscal year 202.3-24 to fund grants to support hospital emergency department services. Finally, the bill would create a Department of Health Services appropriation for hospital emergency department services grants.
I am partially vetoing sections 1 [as it relates to s . 20.435 (1) (bd)], 2, and 4 to remove the specific references to emergency department services within the broader category of hospital services. I object to unnecessarily restricting crisis funding intended to address urgent healthcare access needs in Western Wisconsin that exist well beyond hospital emergency departments.
