AI Summary
This bill increases funding for the University of Wisconsin System's freshwater collaborative by adding $5 million in fiscal year 2025-26 and another $5 million in fiscal year 2026-27. The freshwater collaborative is likely a research initiative focused on water-related studies, which is an important area of research given Wisconsin's significant water resources. The bill modifies the state budget schedule for the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System, specifically under section 20.285 (1) (ar), to provide these additional funds. By allocating a total of $10 million over two fiscal years, the bill aims to support ongoing research and innovation in freshwater science and technology within the University of Wisconsin System.
