A BILL
To authorize the State of Wisconsin to implement the
demonstration project known as ‘‘Wisconsin Works’’.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

SECTION 
1. 
AUTHORITY 
TO 
IMPLEMENT 
WISCONSIN
WORKS DEMONSTRATION PROJECT.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Upon presentation by the State
of Wisconsin of the document entitled ‘‘Wisconsin Works’’
(as signed into State law by the Governor of Wisconsin
on April 26, 1996) to the appropriate Federal official with
respect to any Federal entitlement program specified in
such document—
(1) such official is deemed to have waived com-
pliance with the requirements of Federal law with
respect to such program to the extent and for the
period necessary to enable the State of Wisconsin to
carry out the demonstration project described in the
document; and
(2) the costs of carrying out the demonstration
project which would not otherwise be included as ex-
penditures under such program shall be regarded as
expenditures under such program.
(b) LIMITATION OF COSTS.—Subsection (a)(2) shall
not apply to the extent that—
(1) the sum of such costs and the expenditures
of the State of Wisconsin under all programs to
which subsection (a) applies during any testing pe-
riod exceeds
(2) the total amount that would be expended
under such programs during such testing period in
the absence of the demonstration project.
(c) TESTING PERIOD.—For purposes of subsection
(b), the testing periods are—
(1) the 5-year period that begins with the date
of the commencement of the demonstration project,
and
(2) the period of the demonstration project.
(d) RECAPTURE OF EXCESS.—If at the close of any
testing period, the Secretary of Health and Human Serv-
ices determines that the amount described in subsection
(b)(2) exceeds the amount described in subsection (b)(1)
for such period, such Secretary shall withhold an amount
equal to such excess from amounts otherwise payable to
the State of Wisconsin under section 403 of the Social
Security Act (relating to the program of aid to families
with dependent children) for the first fiscal year beginning
after the close of such period. The preceding sentence shall
not apply to the extent such Secretary is otherwise paid
such excess by the State of Wisconsin.
SEC. 2. NO EFFECT ON CERTAIN OTHER WAIVERS GRANT-
ED TO THE STATE OF WISCONSIN.
This Act shall not be construed to affect the terms
or conditions of any waiver granted before the date of the
enactment of this Act to the State of Wisconsin under sec-
tion 1115 of the Social Security Act, including earned
waiver savings and conditions. The current waivers are
considered a precondition and can be subsumed as part
of the Wisconsin Works demonstration.
SEC. 3. AUTHORITY TO PARTICIPATE UNDER SUBSEQUENT
LEGISLATION.
If, after the date of the enactment of this Act, any
Federal law is enacted which modifies the terms of, or the
amounts of expenditures permitted under, any program to
which section 1 applies, the State of Wisconsin may elect
to participate in such program as so modified.
