What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
