What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Department of Workforce Development to establish a ten-year program for making annual grants to individuals who were charged nonresident tuition by and completed an educational program, including an apprenticeship, at Wisconsin technical colleges or University of Wisconsin System universities or colleges. To be eligible for the grants, an individual must have continuously resided and been employed in Wisconsin for a period of at least two years after graduation. The bill allows an individual to receive annual grants for no more than five consecutive years in amounts equal to 10 percent of the difference between the total amount of nonresident tuition the educational institution charged the individual and the total amount of resident tuition the educational institution would have charged the individual if the individual had been a resident. If an individual who receives a grant ceases to reside or be employed in Wisconsin, the bill provides that the individual is not eligible for any additional grants. DWD must promulgate rules establishing requirements and procedures for applying for and making the grants. The bill includes a sunset date that provides that DWD may not award a grant approximately ten years after the bill's publication. No later than six months prior to that sunset date, the bill requires DWD to submit a report to the legislature evaluating the success of the program.
