What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
