What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Incourage Community Foundation grant

Under current law, the Building Commission may authorize up to $25,000,000

in general fund supported borrowing to assist construction of projects having a public

purpose. This bill authorizes the Building Commission to use that borrowing

authority to award a grant of up to $3,000,000 to the Incourage Community

Foundation to assist in the construction of an economic and community hub in the

city of Wisconsin Rapids.

Intermodal freight assistance program

Current law authorizes the Department of Transportation to make grants to

public or private applicants for intermodal freight facilities that the department

determines have a public purpose. This bill provides that DOT may not make such

a grant unless the grantee agrees to provide adequate intermodal freight services at

the facility funded by the grant, subject to remedial transfer of the facility to DOT.

The bill also states that the program has a public purpose.
