Under current law, DOT administers the harbor assistance program under which eligible applicants may be awarded a grant to partially reimburse the applicant for expenses incurred in making certain harbor improvements. Under this bill, during the 2019-21 fiscal biennium, DOT must prioritize making grant awards under the harbor assistance program to municipalities in which a shipbuilder in the state is conducting operations.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
