may provide grants to food banks, food pantries, and other nonprofit organizations

to purchase Wisconsin food products. The bill creates a new appropriation and

provides $10,000,000 each fiscal year from the general fund for this purpose.

The bill also provides additional funding, in each year of the 2021-23 fiscal

biennium, for the University of Wisconsin System under its general program

operations appropriation; for state aid for technical colleges; and for special

education aid the Department of Public Instruction pays to school districts,

independent charter schools, cooperative educational service agencies, and county

children with disabilities education boards.
