What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, it is a felony for a public officer or public employee to, in the officer's or employee's private capacity, negotiate, bid for, or enter into a contract in which the officer or employee has a private pecuniary interest if, at the same time the officer or employee is authorized to participate, in his or her public capacity, in the making of the contract or to exercise a discretionary official function related to the contract. Current law also prohibits a state public official, including a member of the board of directors (board) of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), from taking any official action that substantially affects a matter in which the state public official has a substantial financial interest.
Under this bill, if a member of the board or a WEDC employee to whom the board delegates its authority to contract has a private pecuniary interest in a contract that is being negotiated, bid for, or entered into with WEDC, the member or employee must notify WEDC's legal counsel or chief executive officer who must then notify the board. The bill further provides that a member of the board or a WEDC employee who notifies WEDC's legal counsel or chief executive officer that he or she has such a private pecuniary interest in a contract is not authorized to participate, in his or her public capacity, in the making of the contract or to exercise an official function that requires the exercise of discretion in regard to the contract.

In addition, under this bill, if a WEDC employee has a controlling interest in an entity that is negotiating, bidding for, or entering into a contract with WEDC, the employee must notify WEDC's legal counsel or chief executive officer who must then notify the board. The bill provides that the board must prohibit WEDC from entering into any contract with an entity in which a WEDC employee has a controlling interest.
