What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan 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.
