13.48(32)(b)

The state funding commitment for the construction of the facility shall be in the form of a construction grant to Marquette University. Before approving any state funding commitment for such a facility and before awarding the construction grant to Marquette University, the building commission shall determine that all of the following conditions have been met:
13.48(32)(b)1.
1. Marquette University has secured additional funding commitments of at least $15,000,000 from nonstate revenue sources, the nonstate revenue sources are reasonable and available and the total funding commitments of the state and the nonstate sources will permit Marquette University to enter into contracts for the construction of the dental clinic and education facility.

(34) Debt increase for the construction of a youth activities center by the Milwaukee Police Athletic League. 13.48(34)(a)(a) The legislature finds and determines that preventing youth from engaging in delinquent behavior, encouraging positive moral development in youth and providing youth with opportunities for positive interaction with the police are statewide responsibilities of statewide dimension. The legislature also finds and determines that the youth of the city of Milwaukee are disproportionately represented in the state's juvenile correctional system and that, because those youth are so disproportionately represented, the state has a specific concern in preventing those youth from engaging in delinquent behavior, encouraging positive moral development in those youth and providing those youth with opportunities for positive interaction with the police. In addition, the legislature finds and determines that the Milwaukee Police Athletic League prevents that delinquent behavior, encourages that positive moral development and provides those opportunities for positive interaction through the recreational, educational, social and cultural activities that it provides for the youth of the greater Milwaukee community. The legislature, therefore, finds and determines that assisting the Milwaukee Police Athletic League in the construction of a youth activities center at which the Milwaukee Police Athletic League will provide recreational, educational, social and cultural activities for the youth of the greater Milwaukee community under the supervision of volunteer police officers of the city of Milwaukee will have a direct and immediate effect on that specific statewide concern and on those state responsibilities of statewide dimension.

13.48(35)
(35) HR Academy, Inc., youth and family center. 13.48(35)(ah)(ah) The legislature finds and determines that deterring delinquent behavior, building strong families, and creating viable communities are statewide responsibilities of statewide dimension. The legislature finds and determines also that community centers, where youth and families may gather, deter delinquent behavior by permitting youth to gather at locations that are supervised by adults, strengthen families by offering programs and activities that increase parenting and other life skills, and increase the viability of communities by providing accessible and safe meeting places. In addition, the legislature finds and determines that HR Academy, Inc., has the expertise and commitment to successfully operate a community center in the city of Milwaukee. The legislature, therefore, finds and determines that assisting HR Academy, Inc., in the construction of a youth and family center in the city of Milwaukee will deter delinquent behavior, build strong families, and create viable communities and will have a direct and immediate effect on these state responsibilities of statewide dimension.
13.48(35)(am)

(b) If the building commission authorizes a grant to HR Academy, Inc., under
par. (am), HR Academy, Inc., shall enter into a land use restriction agreement limiting the use of the facilities funded by the grant to a youth and family center. The land use restriction agreement shall provide that, if for any reason the facility that is constructed with funds from the grant is not operated as a youth and family center that is open to the public or if it is used for the purpose of devotional activities, religious worship, or sectarian instruction, the state, at the option of the secretary of administration, may pursue any legal remedies available including requiring specific performance of the covenants contained in the agreement.
13.48(36)(a)(a) The legislature finds and determines that a significant number of Hmong people are citizens of this state, that the Hmong people have a proud heritage that needs to be recognized and preserved, and that the Hmong people have experienced difficulties assimilating in this state. The legislature finds that supporting the Hmong people in their efforts to recognize their heritage and to realize the full advantages of citizenship in this state is a statewide responsibility of statewide dimension. Because it will better ensure that the heritage of the Hmong people is preserved and will better enable the Hmong people to realize the full advantages of citizenship in this state, the legislature finds that it will have a direct and immediate effect on a matter of statewide concern for the state to facilitate the purchase or construction and operation of Hmong cultural centers.

13.48(36)(c)2.
2. If, for any reason, the facility that is purchased or constructed with funds from the grant under

In addition, the legislature finds and determines that the Bond Health Center in the city of Oconto plays a vital role in improving the health of the citizens of this state and is a quality health care facility. The legislature, therefore, finds and determines that assisting the Bond Health Center in the city of Oconto in expanding a health care facility will have a direct and immediate effect on this state responsibility of statewide dimension.
13.48(36p)(b)
(b) The building commission may authorize up to $1,000,000 in general fund supported borrowing to make a grant to the Bond Health Center in the city of Oconto for construction costs related to hospital expansion. Before approving any state funding commitment for construction costs relating to the hospital expansion and before awarding the grant, the building commission shall determine that the Bond Health Center has secured all necessary additional funding commitments from nonstate revenue sources for the expansion.
13.48(36p)(c)
(c) If, for any reason, the facility that is expanded with funds from the grant under
par. (b) is not used as a hospital, the state shall retain an ownership interest in the facility equal to the amount of the state's grant.
13.48(37)
(37) Children's research institute. 13.48(37)(a)(a) The legislature finds and determines that there is a critical need for pediatric research to be conducted in the Milwaukee metropolitan area at a unified site and that state support for the construction of a children's research institute at a location that permits interconnection with functionally related facilities of the Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc., will contribute to the advancement of public health in this state. The legislature further finds that pediatric research is a statewide responsibility of statewide dimension. Because it will better ensure that this important responsibility is undertaken in the manner that is most advantageous to the people of this state, the legislature finds that it will have a direct and immediate effect on a matter of statewide concern for the state to facilitate the construction and operation of a children's research institute.
13.48(37)(b)

par. (b) is not used as a children's research institute in the city of Wauwatosa, or the institute is not operated to conduct pediatric research, the state shall retain an ownership interest in the facility equal to the amount of the state's grant.
13.48(38)
(38) Civil War exhibit at the Kenosha Public Museums. 13.48(38)(a)(a) The legislature finds and determines that the Civil War was an event of unequaled importance in the historical development of the United States; that Wisconsin citizens fought bravely and valiantly in assisting the Union to achieve victory in the Civil War; and that the study of the Civil War will deepen our understanding and appreciation of the history of the United States and of Wisconsin. It is therefore in the public interest, and it is the public policy of this state, to assist the Kenosha Public Museums in the construction of facilities that will be used for a Civil War exhibit.

State Public Building Corporation. 13.482(1)
(1)
Organization. The building commission is authorized to organize a nonprofit-sharing corporation to be known as the Wisconsin State Public Building Corporation. When so requested by the building commission, such corporation shall have authority to lease any state-owned land that may be available for the purposes of this section and to construct thereon such building projects, including all necessary buildings, improvements, facilities, equipment and other capital items as are required for the proper use and operation of such building projects after their completion. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit the building commission from exercising the powers conferred upon it by this section and
s. 13.488 with nonstock, nonprofit corporations other than the Wisconsin state public building corporation.
13.482(2)
(2) Building commission may acquire and lease lands. 13.482(2)(a)(a) For the purpose of providing housing for state departments and agencies, including housing for state offices and the completion of the state office building, and to enable the construction, financing and ultimate acquisition thereof by the state, the building commission may acquire any necessary lands, and lease and re-lease any lands owned by the state and available for the purpose to the Wisconsin State Public Building Corporation or other nonstock corporation organized under
ch. 181 that is a nonprofit corporation, as defined in
s. 181.0103 (17). The lease and re-lease shall be for a term or terms not exceeding 50 years each and shall be made on the condition that such corporation shall construct and provide on such leased lands such building projects, including buildings, improvements, facilities or equipment or other capital items, as the building commission requires, and shall re-lease the same to the building commission upon satisfactory terms as to the rental, maintenance and ultimate acquisition by the state as is in its best interests in the judgment of the building commission. After such leases and re-leases are executed and until the projects are acquired by the state, they shall be operated by the building commission through the department of administration, which shall have charge of such property as provided in
ss. 16.85 and
16.8511. The building commission shall operate the projects in such manner as to provide revenues therefrom sufficient to pay the costs of operation and maintenance of the project and to provide for the payments due the Wisconsin State Public Building Corporation or other nonstock, nonprofit corporation but if the building commission finds and declares that the housing available in any such project is in excess of the current housing needs or requirements of the state departments and agencies occupying or availing themselves of the space in or capacity of such project, the building commission need not operate such project in a manner to provide revenues therefrom sufficient to pay the costs of operation and maintenance of the project and to provide for the rental payments due the Wisconsin State Public Building Corporation or other nonstock, nonprofit corporation.
13.482(2)(b)
(b) The building commission shall annually determine and fix the rate of annual rental and the share which shall be paid by each state department and agency occupying the building project. Such share shall be computed on a basis of square feet of floor space occupied or used by each department and agency, giving proper weight to the quality of space occupied. The building commission may continue to charge each such department and agency such rental after the project has been completed and acquired by the state. Such rentals shall be credited to the appropriation account under
s. 20.505 (5) (ka). Plans for projects and all contracts and leases and re-leases made pursuant to this section shall, before becoming effective, have the written approval of the secretary of administration and the governor. This paragraph does not authorize the building commission to incur any state debt for the construction, lease or re-lease of such buildings, improvements, facilities or equipment for the housing of state departments and agencies.
13.482(3)
(3) Powers. In exercising the powers, functions and duties conferred upon the building commission pursuant to this section, the building commission shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred upon it pursuant to
s. 13.488 not inconsistent with this section. The state shall be liable for accrued rentals and for any other default under any lease or re-lease made with the Wisconsin State Public Building Corporation or other nonstock, nonprofit corporation under this section and may be sued therefor on contract as in other contract actions pursuant to
ch. 775, except that it shall not be necessary for the Wisconsin State Public Building Corporation or other nonstock, nonprofit corporation or any assignee of any such corporation or any person or other legal entity proceeding on behalf of any such corporation to file any claim with the legislature prior to the commencement of any such action.
