SB 149 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: requiring the legislature to convene an extraordinary session if an executive order of the president of the United States freezes federal aid to the state.

This bill, SB 149, requires the state legislature to convene an extraordinary session if a U.S. President issues an executive order that freezes federal aid previously authorized for the state. During this session, a bill would be drafted to estimate the amounts of federal aid lost by state agencies, eligible local governmental units (like school districts), and eligible nonprofit organizations. It would then provide payments from the state's budget stabilization fund to these entities to offset the estimated losses, prioritizing essential services. The bill also includes provisions for reimbursing the budget stabilization fund if the state later receives the frozen federal aid.
