What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a grant program administered by the Arts Board in the

Department of Tourism. The bill requires the Arts Board to award grants on a

competitive basis to businesses, arts organizations, local arts agencies, and business

development organizations or associations that work to promote any of the following

in Wisconsin:

1. Individuals or organizations whose products or services have an origin in

artistic, cultural, creative, or aesthetic content.

2. Job creation.

3. Economic development.

Under the bill, such a grant may not exceed $40,000, and the bill prohibits the

Arts Board from awarding a grant unless the proposed grant recipient has secured

from nonstate sources an amount equal to at least twice the amount of the proposed

grant.

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
