What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill directs the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) to

develop and implement a program to identify businesses that require workforce

training in order to begin or expand operations in this state. WEDC must also

determine whether the district board of the technical college district in which an

identified business is or will be located is able to provide the needed workforce

training at no cost to the business for a specified period.

The bill authorizes a technical college district board to obtain a state trust fund

loan for the purpose of providing the workforce training described above and

authorizes WEDC to repay the loan on behalf of the technical college district. The

training may occur at a district facility or at the business.

Votes

Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
