Income taxation
Under current law, a taxpayer may claim income and franchise tax credits based, generally, on the taxpayer's business activities in a location the Department of Commerce designates as a development zone, including an opportunity zone, enterprise zone, or agricultural development zone.

Under current law, a member of a targeted group includes an individual who resides in an area that the federal government designates as an empowerment zone or enterprise community. Under this bill, a member of a targeted group includes an individual who resides in an area that the federal government designates as an economic revitalization area.

DOA:......Fath, BB0138 - Transfer of day care licensing from DHFS to DWD
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
health and human services
Children
Under current law, no person may for compensation provide care and supervision for four or more children under the age of seven for less than 24 hours a day unless the person obtains a license from DHFS to operate a day care center. To obtain a license to operate a day care center, a person must, among other things, meet the minimum requirements for a license promulgated by DHFS by rule. Current law also authorizes DHFS to inspect and investigate day care centers and to impose certain sanctions and penalties on a person who operates a day care center without a license or who violates a provision of licensure or a minimum standard for the operation of a day care center promulgated by DHFS by rule.
This bill transfers from DHFS to DWD the authority to license day care centers, to promulgate rules establishing minimum requirements for day care center licensure and minimum standards for day care center operation, to inspect and investigate day care centers, and to impose sanctions and penalties for operating a day care center without a license or for violating a provision of day care center licensure or a minimum standard for the operation of a day care center.
Under current law, before DHFS may issue a license to a day care center that provides care and supervision for nine or more children, the day care center must pay a biennial fee of $30.25, plus a biennial fee of $8.47 per child, based on the number of children that the day care center is licensed to serve. This bill increases that per child fee to $16.94.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 16.841 (1) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
16.841 (1) (b) "Child care provider" means a provider licensed under s. 48.65 49.98, certified under s. 48.651 49.156, or established or contracted for under s. 120.13 (14).
SECTION 2. 20.435 (3) (jm) of the statutes is amended to read:
20.435 (3) (jm) Licensing activities. The amounts in the schedule for the costs of licensing child welfare agencies under s. 48.60, foster homes and treatment foster homes under s. 48.62, group homes under s. 48.625, day care centers under s. 48.65 and shelter care facilities under s. 938.22 (7). All moneys received for these licensing activities and from fees under ss. 48.615, 48.625, 48.65 (3) and 938.22 (7) (b) and (c) shall be credited to this appropriation account.
