What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, the University of Wisconsin Missing-in-Action Recovery and

Identification Project (MIA Recovery Project) may request the Joint Committee on

Finance to provide $180,000 in each fiscal year of the 2021-23 fiscal biennium for

missions to recover and identify Wisconsin veterans who are missing in action. The

request must include a research prospectus and spending plan for the mission for

which the funding is requested and must be concurrently provided to the standing

committees of each house of the legislature dealing with veterans matters (veterans

committees), as well as the governor, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the

Department of Military Affairs. The veterans committees may submit to JCF a

written recommendation regarding the request. JCF considers the request under a

14-day passive review process and, upon JCF's express or implied approval of the

request, JCF must provide the requested amount of funding directed to the MIA

Recovery Project Fund. If JCF provides funding, by June 30, 2023, the MIA Recovery

Project must submit to JCF, each veterans committee, the governor, DVA, and DMA

a report on the mission's findings and accounting of expenditures, including specified

information. The bill also creates a miscellaneous appropriation of general purpose

revenue through which JCF provides the funding.
