What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill authorizes the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) to award a grant of up to $3,000 to a new business for the business's expenses related to hiring, as a paid intern, a student enrolled at an institution of higher education who studies business, engineering, information technology, or a similar field. Under the bill, a new business is a business organized in this state on a date that is not more than 60 months before the date that the business applies for a grant authorized under the bill. Additionally, if WEDC awards a grant to three or more businesses to fund internships for students enrolled at a single institution of higher education and the institution of higher education develops a program to support internships funded by these grants, WEDC may award a grant of up to $25,000 to the institution of higher education. Finally, this bill requires WEDC to allocate at least $45,000 in each fiscal year to fund grants authorized under the bill and to submit a report on the effectiveness of those grants to the legislature no later than February 1, 2015.
