(1) (a) All moneys resulting from the contracting of public debt or any payment to be
received with respect to any agreement or ancillary arrangement
entered into under s. 18.06 (8) (a) with respect to any such public
debt and any moneys transferred under s. 20.370 (5) (hq) or (hr)
shall be credited to a separate and distinct fund, established in the
state treasury, designated as the capital improvement fund, except
that:
1. Such moneys which represent accrued interest on bonds
issued, or are for purposes of funding or refunding bonds pursuant to s. 18.06 (5), shall be credited to one or more of the sinking funds of the bond security and redemption fund or to the state
building trust fund.
2. Any such moneys that represent any payments received
pursuant to any agreement or ancillary arrangement entered into
under s. 18.06 (8) (a) with respect to any such public debt may be
credited to one or more of the sinking funds of the bond security
and redemption fund or to the capital improvement fund, as determined by the commission.
3. Premiums required for deposit in reserve funds or those
necessary to make cost of issuance and other ancillary payments
may be credited to one or more of the sinking funds of the bond
security and redemption fund or to the capital improvement fund,
as determined by the commission.
(b) Moneys within the capital improvement fund shall be segregated into separate and distinct accounts according to the program purposes defined under ch. 20 for which public debt has
been authorized by the legislature.
(1m) With respect to premium proceeds deposited in the capital improvement fund, all of the following shall apply:
(a) Premium proceeds shall first be used for the purposes for
which the bonds were issued in proportion to the par value of the
bond issue. If the premiums are used for the purposes, the authorized bonding authorization for those purposes is reduced by the
amount of premiums that are used.
(b) Any premiums not used for the purposes for which bonding was authorized may be used for other purposes, as determined by the commission. If the premiums are used for any other
purposes, the authorized bonding authorization for those purposes is reduced by the amount of premiums that are used.
(2) The capital improvement fund may be expended, pursuant
to appropriations, only for the purposes and in the amounts for
which the public debts have been contracted, for the payment of
principal and interest on loans or on notes, for the payment due, if
any, under an agreement or ancillary arrangement entered into
under s. 18.06 (8) (a) with respect to any such public debt, for the
purposes identified under s. 20.867 (2) (v) and (4) (q), and for expenses incurred in contracting public debt.
(3) Moneys of the capital improvement fund may be commingled only for the purpose of investment with other public funds,
but they shall be invested only as provided in s. 18.04 (6) or 25.17
(3) (b). All such investments shall be the exclusive property of
the fund and all earnings on or income from such investments
shall be credited to the fund and shall, subject to subs. (5) and (6),
become available for any of the purposes under sub. (2). Before
October 1, 1983, earnings from that portion created by self-amortizing projects may be transferred by resolution of the commission to the bond security and redemption fund to be used as provided in s. 18.09 (4).
(4) If at any time it appears that there will not be on hand in

the capital improvement fund sufficient moneys for the payment
of principal and interest on loans or on notes or for the payment
due, if any, under an agreement or ancillary arrangement that has
been entered into under s. 18.06 (8) (a) with respect to any public
debt and that has been determined to be payable from the capital
improvement fund under s. 18.06 (8) (a) 2., the department of administration shall transfer to such fund, out of the appropriation
made pursuant to s. 20.866, a sum sufficient which, together with
any available money on hand in such fund, is sufficient to make
such payment.
(5) Before October 31, 1983, there shall be transferred to the
bond security and redemption fund the interest earnings accrued
to the capital improvement fund before October 1, 1983 due to
the investment of moneys from the contracting of public debt under s. 20.866 (2) (u) to (uv). These funds shall be used for meeting periodic principal, interest and premiums due, if any, on principal repayment and interest payments required from the transportation fund on this public debt.
(6) Before October 31, 1983, there shall be transferred to the
bond security and redemption fund the interest earnings accrued
to the capital improvement fund before October 1, 1983, due to
the investment of moneys from the contracting of public debt under s. 20.866 (2) (tm) to (to). These funds shall be used for meeting periodic principal, interest and premiums due, if any, on principal repayment and interest payments required from the general
fund on this public debt.
(7) Notwithstanding sub. (3), moneys transferred under 2023
Wisconsin Act 19, section 9251 (1), cannot be commingled with
other moneys in the capital improvement fund and all earnings on
or income from investments of the moneys transferred under
2023 Wisconsin Act 19, section 9251 (1), and all excess moneys
so transferred that are not used to fund building projects authorized in the 2023-25 Authorized State Building Program, shall be
deposited into or transferred to the general fund.
