Before any such state funding commitment is made, the secretary of administration shall determine that HR Academy, Inc., has secured additional funding at least equal to $3,500,000 from nonstate donations for the purpose of constructing a youth and family center, that no part of the youth and family center will be used for the purpose of devotional activities, religious worship, or sectarian instruction, and that HR Academy, Inc., owns interests in real estate that are adequate for the siting and operation of the center. 13.48(35)(b)(b) If the building commission authorizes a grant to HR Academy, Inc., under par. (am), HR Academy, Inc., shall enter into a land use restriction agreement limiting the use of the facilities funded by the grant to a youth and family center. The land use restriction agreement shall provide that, if for any reason the facility that is constructed with funds from the grant is not operated as a youth and family center that is open to the public or if it is used for the purpose of devotional activities, religious worship, or sectarian instruction, the state, at the option of the secretary of administration, may pursue any legal remedies available including requiring specific performance of the covenants contained in the agreement. 13.48(36)(a)(a) The legislature finds and determines that a significant number of Hmong people are citizens of this state, that the Hmong people have a proud heritage that needs to be recognized and preserved, and that the Hmong people have experienced difficulties assimilating in this state. The legislature finds that supporting the Hmong people in their efforts to recognize their heritage and to realize the full advantages of citizenship in this state is a statewide responsibility of statewide dimension. Because it will better ensure that the heritage of the Hmong people is preserved and will better enable the Hmong people to realize the full advantages of citizenship in this state, the legislature finds that it will have a direct and immediate effect on a matter of statewide concern for the state to facilitate the purchase or construction and operation of a Hmong cultural center. 13.48(36)(c)1.1. The building commission may authorize up to $250,000 in general fund supported borrowing to make a grant to an organization designated by the secretary of administration that represents the cultural interests of Hmong people for purchase or construction of a Hmong cultural center in La Crosse County. Before awarding the grant, the organization shall submit to the building commission and the commission shall review and approve an initial budget and business plan for the operation of the center that is acceptable to the commission. As a condition of receiving the grant, the organization must enter into an agreement with the secretary guaranteeing that the center will be operated to serve the nonsectarian cultural interests of the Hmong people. 13.48(36)(c)2.2. If, for any reason, the facility that is purchased or constructed with funds from the grant under subd. 1. is not used as a Hmong cultural center in La Crosse County, or the center is not operated to serve the nonsectarian cultural interests of the Hmong people, the state shall retain an ownership interest in the facility equal to the amount of the state’s grant.
