What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Commerce (department) to award grants

to the Wisconsin Workforce Development Association (association) for purchasing

and installing a fully integrated video conferencing system to be used by at least 20

job centers across the state for collaborative meetings, career guidance workshops,

and other purposes. The total amount of grants awarded under the bill may not

exceed $710,000. The bill provides $710,000 in general purpose revenue to fund the

grants.

Under the bill, the department must enter into an agreement with the

association that requires the association to operate the system for at least five years

after the date of purchase and to invest any resulting savings, minus the cost of

operating the system, to assist unemployed and underemployed workers.
