What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill creates an authority, which is a public body corporate and politic, to be known as the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC). The WEDC is governed by a board that consists of the governor, who shall serve as chairperson of the board, and 11 members nominated by the governor, and with the advice and consent of the senate appointed, to serve at the pleasure of the governor. The secretary of administration and the secretary of revenue also serve on the board as nonvoting members. The WEDC has a chief executive officer who is nominated by the governor, and with the advice and consent of the senate appointed, to serve at the pleasure of the governor. The board may delegate to the chief executive officer any powers and duties the board considers proper.

Under the bill, the board must develop and implement economic programs to provide business support and expertise and financial assistance to companies that are investing and creating jobs in Wisconsin and to support new business start-ups and business expansion and growth in Wisconsin. In addition, the board may develop and implement any other programs related to economic development in Wisconsin. The board is given all the powers necessary or convenient to carry out its duties, as well as specific powers to conduct its corporate business. The bill specifically requires the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to provide staff or other resources to assist the board in carrying out its duties and requires that Commerce and the board coordinate their economic development programs. Finally, the board must submit to the legislature a report on the activities of the WEDC and the programs developed and implemented by the board.

Read the full summary

The WEDC employees are not state employees, although the WEDC may elect to become a participating employer under the Wisconsin Retirement System. The members of the board and the chief executive officer are subject to state ethics laws.

In addition to creating the WEDC, the bill authorizes the secretary of administration, before July 1, 2011, to abolish any full-time equivalent position or portion thereof from revenues appropriated to Commerce and authorizes the secretary to transfer funds from Commerce appropriations to WEDC appropriations.
