What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) may designate an area as an enterprise zone. Commerce must consider a number of factors related to the area prior to designating the area as an enterprise zone, including indicators of the area's economic need and whether designation as an enterprise zone would promote the retention of jobs in the area. A taxpayer who creates or retains jobs in an enterprise zone, or a taxpayer located in an enterprise zone who makes certain purchases from Wisconsin vendors, may claim certain tax benefits. Commerce may designate no more than 12 enterprise zones.
This bill permits Commerce to designate a total of 13 enterprise zones.
