What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) to establish, or award a grant to an association that represents manufacturers in this state to establish, a manufacturer marketing assistance program and to promote manufacturers' products and services. The grant or any moneys WEDC itself uses for the program may not exceed a total of $1,000,000 disbursed over five years. The bill specifies the purposes for which the grant proceeds may be used, including salaries and fringe benefits to certain association employees, operating expenses for a marketing and outreach office, and creating an Internet site for the association.
The grant is funded by the economic development fund. The bill requires WEDC to review the program on an annual basis, and WEDC may cancel the program at any time.
