What it would have done

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

Under current law, the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) administers loan guarantees for agricultural production loans that meet certain conditions (agricultural production loan guarantees). Annually, WHEDA establishes the maximum loan principal amount for which a borrower may receive agricultural production loan guarantees. Currently, WHEDA may set that maximum amount at not less than $30,000 nor more than $100,000. This bill changes that range to not less than $2,000 nor more than $150,000.

Also under current law, the term of a loan eligible for an agricultural production loan guarantee may not extend past March 31 of the calendar year following the year in which the loan was made, subject to an extension until June 30 of the calendar year following the year in which the loan was made. The bill deletes those specific date limitations and provides that the term of a loan eligible for an agricultural production loan guarantee may not extend beyond 12 months after the date the loan is made.
