What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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

who represent employers, and one member who is an employee of the Department

of Workforce Development who also serves as the nonvoting chairperson.
