13.39 Legislative consideration of biennial budget bill.
(1)Neither house of the legislature may pass a biennial budget bill until the legislative fiscal bureau has distributed a copy of an earmark transparency report on the biennial budget bill, as amended, prepared under s. 13.95
(b), to each member of the legislature and has made the report available on the legislature’s Internet website.
(2)If a committee of conference is convened on a biennial budget bill, a conference report may not contain any earmark, as defined in s. 13.95
(a), that was not included in the executive budget bill or an amendment thereto that was passed by either house of the legislature. The committee of conference, however, may reduce the amount of any earmark that requires a payment to a specific beneficiary or beneficiaries or may reduce the cost to the state of any earmark that is a tax deduction, credit, exclusion, or exemption.
