What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan 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.
