What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, under the Wisconsin Constitution, the net proceeds of the state

lottery must be used for property tax relief for residents of this state. This proposed

constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2009 legislature on first consideration,

provides that the net proceeds of the state lottery may also be used for the payment

of interest on loans made to any person to commence the business of farming as

provided by law.

A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive

legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
