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 Health Services to provide electronic benefit transfer and credit and debit card processing equipment and services to farmers' markets and farmers who sell directly to consumers as a payment processing program. The bill specifies that the electronic benefit transfer processing equipment and services must include equipment and services for the food stamp program, which is known as FoodShare. Under the bill, the vendor that processes the electronic benefit transfer and credit and debit card transactions must also process any local purchasing incentives. The bill provides $735,000 for this payment processing program, and included in that amount is funding for a portion of a full-time employee position for DHS to coordinate and provide other services for the payment processing program. The bill also appropriates additional moneys to the Department of Public Instruction for special education and to the University of Wisconsin System and the state's technical college system for higher education to satisfy maintenance of effort requirements to sustain certain federal funding.
