Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires that a recipient of a loan, grant, or tax credit from the
Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation report certain job losses or jobs
relocated outside of Wisconsin to WEDC within seven business days after the jobs
are eliminated or relocated. If the participant shows that extenuating circumstances
prevent meeting the seven-day requirement, the participant may submit the report
within 30 days. The bill further requires that no loan, grant, or tax credit from
WEDC may be used to relocate jobs outside of Wisconsin or to reduce net employment
in Wisconsin.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
