What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires the Department of Natural Resources to establish a scholarship grant program to assist individuals who are seeking certification by the Wisconsin Professional Loggers Association as master loggers. A scholarship grant under the program may not exceed 50 percent of the total cost of receiving the certification.
This bill specifies that scholarships under the grant program are for individuals seeking certification by the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association. This change reflects the new name of the organization that certifies master loggers.
