Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits any person who operates a business in this state and who outsources work to another state or country from receiving any grant, loan, or tax benefit from this state for five years following the year in which the person has outsourced work to another state or country or from entering into a contract with the state for seven years following the year in which the person outsourced work to another state or country. The bill also creates the Wisconsin Job Development and Retention Commission to determine when a person who is receiving state tax benefits, loans, or grants or who has a contract with the state is outsourcing jobs.
The commission consists of three members who represent employees, three members who represent employers, and one member who is an employee of the Department of Workforce Development who also serves as the nonvoting chairperson.
