This bill died with 2021-2022 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Assembly Bill 235 includes additional provisions requiring the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) to notify the Joint Committee on Finance before spending funds on rural economic development programs. Specifically, WEDC must explain their intended use of the funds, and if the committee doesn't respond within 14 days, WEDC can proceed with the spending. This change is important because it adds a layer of oversight for how state funds are allocated, ensuring that there's a check on spending decisions related to rural economic initiatives.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in that expenditure assists economic development in a rural senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

Expend moneys for any economic development program WEDC is administering as of the date on which the bill becomes law if the expenditure assists economic development in a rural county.
2.
Expend moneys for any economic development program WEDC begins administering after the date on which the bill becomes law if the expenditure assists economic development in a rural county.
The bill requires passive review by the Joint Committee on Finance before WEDC first expends moneys allocated under the bill on each such program and requires WEDC to adopt policies and procedures establishing, to the extent feasible, matching requirements for any such expenditure.
3.
Subject to passive review by JCF, award grants to state agencies, including other authorities, if WEDC determines that a state agency's expenditure of the grant moneys will assist economic development in a rural county.
4.
Award onetime grants to certain county and regional economic development organizations serving rural counties for the purpose of creating or expanding - 2022 Legislature - 2 - LRB-2858/1 MPG:amn ASSEMBLY BILL 235 revolving loan funds that promote economic development and entrepreneurial start-ups in rural counties.
The bill additionally authorizes WEDC to award limited onetime grants to such organizations for the organizations' program operations and marketing in rural counties.
With respect to WEDC's administration of all of the programs described above, the bill requires WEDC to make every effort to ensure that underserved communities in rural counties are prioritized.
Additionally, under the bill, WEDC must submit a report to JCF no later than June 30 of each fiscal year in which WEDC expends moneys allocated under the bill that describes in detail WEDC's use of those moneys in that fiscal year.
The bill also requires the governor to allocate $50,000,000 of the funds accepted under ARPA for the Department of Revenue to provide grants to farmers.
Under the bill, a farmer is eligible for a grant if the farmer's gross sales of farm products for 2019 exceeds $35,000 but not does exceed $5,000,000 and the farmer has experienced financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The bill directs DOR to consult with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection in providing the grants.
