Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, beginning on July 1, 2013, no entity within the University
of Wisconsin System may be a member, shareholder, or partner in or with any person
that offers, resells, or provides telecommunications services to the general public or
to any public or private entity unless at least one of the following applies:
1. The person does not offer, resell, or provide telecommunications services that
it did not offer, resell, or provide on June 15, 2011, and the person does not offer,
resell, or provide telecommunications services to anybody other than a university or
a university-affiliated research facility or a facility approved by the Joint Committee
on Finance that the person was not serving on June 15, 2011.
2. The person is comprised entirely of universities and university-affiliated
research facilities.
This postpones the prohibition described above from July 1, 2013, to July 1,
2014.
