What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law authorizes the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection to make grants for programs to connect schools with nearby farms to

provide children with locally produced foods, provide nutritional and agricultural

education, and improve farmers' incomes. The 2013-15 budget act,

2013 Wisconsin

Act 20

, did not provide funding for these farm to school grants. This bill provides

funding for farm to school grants in the 2013-15 fiscal biennium.

Votes

Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
