Official statutory text
(1) If the legislative reference bureau, in consultation with the cochairpersons of the joint committee on finance, determines that any bill introduced into either house of the legislature is a major fiscal bill because it would have a significant effect upon state revenues or expenditures, the legislative reference bureau shall have printed, as an appendix to the bill, a revised s. 20.005 (1) , incorporating the changes in the general fund summary and in the summary of appropriations that would occur as a result of enactment of the bill. The department of administration shall provide the legislative reference bureau with the revised summaries.
(2) Immediately following the final adjournment of the legislature, or at convenient intervals prior thereto, the department of administration shall amend the schedule and summaries set forth in s. 20.005 to include all fiscal acts of the legislature, and submit the composite amended schedule and summaries to the joint committee on finance for approval. When approved, the department of administration shall then submit the schedule and summaries to the legislative reference bureau, which shall print the revised schedules and summaries of all state funds in the ensuing edition of the biennial Wisconsin statutes printed under s. 35.18 (1) (a) as part of s. 20.005 and in lieu of the schedules and summaries printed in the preceding edition of the biennial Wisconsin statutes. If any conflict exists between ss. 20.115 to 20.875 and s. 20.005 , ss. 20.115 to 20.875 shall control and s. 20.005 shall be changed to correspond with ss. 20.115 to 20.875 . All appropriations are to be rounded to the nearest $100 and if any appropriation is made which is not so rounded the department of administration, when preparing the composite amended schedule and summaries, shall show the appropriation increased to the next $100.
