Full text of Wisconsin Wisconsin Statutes § 165.10 — Deposit of settlement funds., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 165.10. Deposit of settlement funds.
The attorney general shall deposit all settlement funds into the general fund. 165.10 History History: 2017 a. 59 , 369 . 165.10 Annotation A plain reading of ss. 20.906 (1) and 25.20 establishes that, because the legislature has not “specifically designated” in this section any fund account other than the general fund, all settlement funds must be deposited into the general purpose revenue fund. The lack of a mention of s. 20.455 (1) (gh) or other accounts into which the settlement funds should be credited is very telling. There is no triggering language to allow separate crediting of the settlement funds. Wisconsin State Legislature v. Kaul, 2025 WI App 2 , 414 Wis. 2d 633 , 17 N.W.3d 24 , 22-0431 .
