What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
During the 2011-12 legislative session, 2011 Wisconsin Acts 10 and 32 increased the number of unclassified division administrators in executive branch state agencies. An unclassified division administrator serves at the pleasure of his or her appointing authority, while a classified division administrator may only be removed from the position for cause.
2011 Wisconsin Act 10 also permitted appointing authorities in executive branch agencies to designate any managerial position as an unclassified division administrator position.

This bill eliminates the increases in the number of unclassified division administrator positions that were authorized in 2011 Wisconsin Acts 10 and 32 and eliminates the ability of an appointing authority to designate any managerial position as an unclassified division administrator position. The bill also requires the secretary of administration to submit a plan to the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) for adjusting appropriations and authorized classified and unclassified positions that result from the reduction in the number of unclassified division administrators under this bill. If the cochairpersons of JCF do not notify the secretary that JCF has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the plan within 14 working days after the date of his or her submittal, the secretary may implement the plan. If within 14 working days after the date of the submittal by the secretary the cochairpersons notify him or her that JCF has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the plan, the secretary may implement the plan only with the approval of JCF.
