Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer
Protection is authorized to use certain funds to make loans for the development of
rural businesses or rural economic development. This bill allows DATCP to also use
those funds to provide grants for the purpose of promoting dairy exports and clarifies
that these grant funds make up a part of the $5 million appropriated for the
Agricultural Exports Program created under 2021 Wisconsin Act 92.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
