Assembly Bill 250 aims to establish a funding mechanism for the War Memorial Center in Milwaukee County, the only county in Wisconsin with a population of 750,000 or more. The bill creates a continuing appropriation account under the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) specifically for the War Memorial Center's memorial board to request funds. To access these funds, the memorial board must provide a detailed description of the intended use of the funds and demonstrate that it has secured equal matching funds to support its project.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the memorial board submit an annual report to the Joint Committee on Finance detailing how the funds were utilized and the remaining balance in the appropriation account. The new legal provisions include the creation of sections 20.485 (2) (a) and 45.75 (9) in the statutes, which outline the process for requesting funds and the purposes for which the funds can be used, such as operational expenses and maintenance of the memorial facilities. The bill is set to take effect the day after publication or on the second day after the publication of the 2025 biennial budget act, whichever is later.
