Spending cap for the Wisconsin agricultural exports program
Under current law, the Center for International Agribusiness Marketing, operated by DATCP, promotes the export of Wisconsin agricultural and agribusiness products in foreign markets. Current law provides that the center may not expend more than $1,000,000 in any fiscal year.
The bill eliminates the $1,000,000-per-year spending cap for the center.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 93.425 (3) of the statutes is amended to read:
93.425 (3) Of the moneys appropriated under s. 20.115 (3) (b), the center for international agribusiness marketing shall ensure that $2,500,000 is expended for the objective specified in sub. (2) (a), $1,250,000 is expended for the objective specified in sub. (2) (b), and $1,250,000 is expended for the objective specified in sub. (2) (c). The center may not expend more than $1,000,000 under the program in any fiscal year.
(End)
