What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires that a recipient of a loan, grant, or tax credit from the

Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation report certain job losses or jobs

relocated outside of Wisconsin to WEDC within seven business days after the jobs

are eliminated or relocated. If the participant shows that extenuating circumstances

prevent meeting the seven day requirement, the participant may submit the report

within 30 days. The bill further requires that no loan, grant, or tax credit from

WEDC may be used to relocate jobs outside of Wisconsin or to reduce net employment

in Wisconsin.

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
