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 Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to provide grants to universities, colleges, and technical colleges to reimburse the tuition costs of students enrolled in a meat processing program. Each tuition reimbursement covers up to 80 percent of the tuition cost for enrolling in a meat processing program, limited to a maximum reimbursement of $7,500. The bill provides funding from the general fund for the grant program and authorizes one additional position at DATCP for this purpose.

The bill also provides additional funding for the University of Wisconsin System under its general program operations appropriation; for state aid to 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.
