AB947,1,6 1An Act to renumber and amend 36.65 (1); and to create 36.11 (61), 36.11 (62),
236.11 (63), 36.65 (1) (b) and 36.65 (2) (j) of the statutes; relating to: prohibiting
3foreign missions of China at University of Wisconsin institutions and
4University of Wisconsin System involvement with Communist Chinese
5recruitment or propaganda programs and requiring the University of
6Wisconsin System to report funding received from foreign missions of China.

This bill requires the University of Wisconsin System to do all of the following:

1. Ensure that no designated foreign mission of China is established at or
recognized by a UW institution after the bill's effective date. A “designated foreign
mission of China” is defined as an entity or operation designated by the federal Office
of Foreign Missions as a foreign mission of the People's Republic of China within the
United States, including the Confucius Institute U.S. Center, the Asia Society
Chinese Language Partner Network, and the Center for Language Exchange and
Cooperation. If a designated foreign mission of China has already been established
at or recognized by a UW institution on the bill's effective date, the UW System must
develop and implement a plan to ensure that the designated foreign mission of China
does not remain established at or recognized by the institution after approximately
one year from the bill's effective date.

2. Annually identify the amount and source of funding received from a
designated foreign mission of China. This information must be included in an

annual report that current law requires to be submitted to the governor and the
legislature. With respect to UW-Madison, the report must be submitted by the
UW-Madison rather than the UW System.

3. Identify, end, and provide a report regarding any “cultural exchange”
programs the UW System has that are consistent with those identified by the U.S.
State Department as Chinese Communist Party propaganda tools.
