Wisconsin Supreme Court

Wisconsin State Legislature v. Josh Kaul

July 10, 20262026 WI 28

Summary

The court held that depositing uncommitted settlement funds into the general fund satisfies the statutory deposit requirement even when the funds are credited to a program appropriation within that fund. It dismissed as improvidently granted the separate question whether such funds qualify as proceeds from services because no lower court had decided that issue and the court could not produce a majority mandate.
