Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides additional funding to the University of Wisconsin System to offset the reduction in funding that results from the resident undergraduate tuition freeze included in the 2019 biennial budget act. The bill does so by increasing the appropriation to the UW System for general program operations by $16,800,000 in fiscal year 2019-20 and by $33,600,000 in fiscal year 2020-21.

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:

AB392,1 Section 1. Fiscal changes.
