What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
