What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill authorizes the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to

award a loan of up to $50,000,000 to the Consolidated Cooperative for the purchase

of the Verso Paper Mill in the city of Wisconsin Rapids. The loan is to be for the term

and upon the conditions as may be agreed upon between WEDC and the cooperative.

Additionally, WEDC may not award the loan unless it determines that substantial

additional funding for the purchase of the paper mill has been secured from both

nonstate revenue sources and in the form of a loan issued by the Board of

Commissioners of Public Lands to an entity eligible for the loan. Finally, the bill

requires the governor to allocate $50,000,000 of the funds accepted under the federal

American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 for the loan.
