Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, the Department of Natural Resources may research chronic
wasting disease (CWD) in cervids, in addition to managing and providing funding to
conduct testing for CWD, which DNR is authorized to do under current law. A cervid
is any species of deer or elk that is present in the wild and that is not a farm-raised
deer. The bill also appropriates $1,000,000 annually from the general fund in fiscal
years 2021-22 and 2022-23 for research on and management of CWD. Current law
appropriates no money for this purpose.
The bill also provides additional funding for state aid to technical colleges 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
an appendix to this bill.
