2021 Assembly BILL 164

March 16, 2021 - Introduced by Representatives Wittke, Vos and McGuire, cosponsored by Senators Wanggaard and Wirch. Referred to Committee on Local Government.

AB164,1,3 An Act to amend 66.1105 (20) (c) 2. of the statutes; relating to: increasing the expenditure period for a tax incremental district in an electronics and information technology manufacturing zone.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a city or village creating a tax incremental district (TID) in an electronics and information technology manufacturing zone may incur project costs for certain specified items, including capital expenditures for constructing or expanding fire stations and for purchasing police and fire equipment. Such capital expenditures may be made only for the first 84 months following the TID's creation. This bill increases that period to 180 months.

For further information see the state and local 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:

AB164,1 Section 1. 66.1105 (20) (c) 2. of the statutes is amended to read:

AB164,2,10 66.1105 (20) (c) 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of sub. (2) (f) 2. a. and c., the cost of constructing or expanding fire stations, purchasing police and fire equipment, and the cost of general government operating expenses related to providing police and fire protection services, provided that the total of such expenditures do not exceed, over the district's lifetime, 15 percent of the total positive tax increments received by the creating city over the district's lifetime. With regard to capital expenditures that may be made under this subdivision, such expenditures may be made only for the first 84 180 months following the district's creation, and any expenditures made under this subdivision for constructing or expanding fire stations may be made only for fire stations located within a one-mile radius of the electronics and information technology manufacturing zone that is designated under s. 238.396 (1m).
