What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation

administers a program under which it collaborates with state agencies to develop

and implement initiatives for the attraction of talent to and retention of talent in this

state.

This bill requires WEDC to expend $5,000,000 for the purpose of talent

attraction and retention initiatives focused specifically on active duty military

personnel transitioning out of the U.S. armed forces and veterans. The initiatives

must include digital marketing, direct outreach to military personnel, and grants to

local and regional economic development organizations for talent attraction and

retention initiatives focused specifically on active duty military personnel

transitioning out of the U.S. armed forces and veterans. The bill also requires WEDC

to submit a report to the legislature that describes in detail each initiative

undertaken as required under the bill in the 2023-25 fiscal biennium, the dollar

amount expended on the initiative, and WEDC's assessment of the success of the

initiative.
