AB75-SSA1-SA1,2,11 13.48 (39b) Debt increase for construction of an engineering education facility at Marquette University. (a) The legislature finds and determines that it is vital for economic development in this state to ensure the availability of a sufficient number of engineers to meet the needs of businesses and residents of this state. It is therefore in the public interest, and it is the public policy of this state, to assist private institutions in this state, including Marquette University, in the construction of a facility that will be used for engineering education.

AB75-SSA1-SA1,2,18 (b) The building commission may authorize up to $10,000,000 of general fund supported borrowing to aid in the construction of an engineering education facility at Marquette University. 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:

AB75-SSA1-SA1,2,23 1. Marquette University has secured additional funding commitments of at least $25,000,000 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 engineering education facility.

AB75-SSA1-SA1,3,2 2. The engineering facility will not be used for the purpose of devotional activities, religious worship, or sectarian instruction.

AB75-SSA1-SA1,3,5 (c) If the building commission authorizes a construction grant to Marquette University under par. (b), Marquette University shall provide the state with an option to purchase the engineering education facility under the following conditions:

AB75-SSA1-SA1,3,9 1. The option price shall be the appraised fair market value at the time that the option is exercised, less a credit recognizing the amount of the state's construction grant. The option shall be subject to any mortgage or other security interest of any private lenders.

AB75-SSA1-SA1,3,10 2. The option may be exercised only upon the occurrence of any of the following:

AB75-SSA1-SA1,3,12 a. Suspension of operation of a program of engineering education at Marquette University or any successor organization.

AB75-SSA1-SA1,3,13 b. Foreclosure of the mortgage by a private lender.

AB75-SSA1-SA1,3,20 (d) If the state does not exercise the option to purchase the engineering education facility, and if the facility is sold to any 3rd party, any agreement to sell the facility shall provide that the state has the right to receive an amount equal to the construction grant under par. (b) from the net proceeds of any such sale after the mortgage has been satisfied and all other secured debts have been paid. This right shall be paramount to the right of Marquette University to the proceeds upon such sale.".
