What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection (DATCP) to design an official "Made in Wisconsin" logotype for use with

products, other than cheese, manufactured in Wisconsin using materials produced

in Wisconsin. Under the bill, DATCP must promulgate rules that implement the

bill's requirements and that define what constitutes a product manufactured in

Wisconsin using materials produced in Wisconsin to qualify for use of the "Made in

Wisconsin" logotype. The bill makes it an unfair trade practice for any person to affix

to or display in connection with a product the words "Made in Wisconsin" except as

provided in the rules promulgated by DATCP under the bill.
