What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Administration to award an interest-free

loan in the amount of $2,000,000 to the Greater Green Bay Convention and Visitor

Bureau to assist in the construction of a visitor information and education center

located in Brown County. The bill authorizes $2,000,000 in general fund supported

borrowing authority to finance the loan.

Under

2019 Wisconsin Act 9

, the biennial budget act, the Building Commission

is authorized to award moneys for construction projects having a public purpose and

may authorize up to $25,000,000 in general fund supported borrowing for that

purpose. This bill delegates to DOA the Building Commission's authority to make

such an award for purposes of the loan under the bill. The bill also authorizes

$2,000,000 in general fund supported borrowing in lieu of the Building Commission

doing so pursuant to Act 9. Under the bill, DOA, with the advice of bond counsel,

establishes appropriate terms and conditions for contracting the public debt
