What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

That program was repealed in 2001 Wisconsin Act 109 . This bill eliminates those administrative rules.
Also under current law, the Arts Board maintains administrative rules for a Percent for Art program under which a small percentage of appropriations for state building projects was allocated for art acquisition. That program was repealed in 2011 Wisconsin Act 32 . This bill eliminates those administrative rules.
