SB450,58,4 (2) (a) The department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection shall, in consultation with the department of natural resources, study whether current and projected markets for bioenergy feedstocks and state and federal programs in effect on the effective date of this paragraph .... [LRB inserts date], provide adequate financial incentives to prompt producers of bioenergy feedstocks to sustainably produce a supply of biomass that, as a result of the use of that biomass as bioenergy feedstocks, will significantly contribute to the achievement of the state greenhouse gas emission reduction goals established under s. 299.03 (2). The department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection and the department of natural resources shall prepare a report on the study.

SB450,58,12 (b) The department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection and the department of natural resources shall prepare the study required under this subsection in consultation with the office of energy independence in the department of administration, the public service commission, the University of Wisconsin System, the administrator of the statewide energy efficiency and renewable resource programs under s. 196.374 (2) (a) 1., representatives of natural resources and environmental organizations, and representatives of sectors of the economy in this state that are affected by the programs.

SB450,59,2 (3) (a) If, after conducting the study under sub. (2), the department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection and the department of natural resources determine that the financial incentives under state and federal law are inadequate to prompt producers of bioenergy feedstocks to sustainably produce a supply of biomass that will significantly contribute to the achievement of the state greenhouse gas emission reduction goals established under s. 299.03 (2), and that additional financial incentives are warranted, the department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection and the department of natural resources shall recommend changes to improve the effectiveness of financial incentives under existing state programs and propose new legislation offering additional financial incentives to prompt bioenergy feedstock producers to sustainably produce additional biomass in order to help achieve the state greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. The department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection and the department of natural resources shall consider all of the following when making the recommendations required under this paragraph:

SB450,59,4 1. Methods to reduce financial risks of bioenergy feedstock producers, such as loan guarantees and insurance.

SB450,59,8 2. Expansion of a cap and trade program or a voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction offset program to create credits for producers of bioenergy feedstocks who reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the production of bioenergy feedstocks by adopting appropriate management practices.

SB450,59,11 3. Expansion of the renewable resource credits created under s. 196.378 (3) (a) 1. to authorize the creation of credits from the production or generation of nonelectric energy, as defined in s. 196.378 (1r) (dm), that is produced or generated from biomass.

SB450,59,16 (b) No later than July 1, 2013, the department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection and the department of natural resources shall submit a report on the study required under sub. (2) together with any recommended changes to current law or recommended new legislation proposed under par. (a) to the climate change coordinating council.
