Assembly Bill 735 proposes the establishment of an online clearinghouse of information specifically designed for small businesses in Wisconsin. The bill mandates the Department of Administration (DOA) to create this clearinghouse, which will serve as a centralized resource for small businesses to access vital information. The DOA is required to collaborate with various entities, including the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, and local governments, to ensure the clearinghouse includes information on bidding opportunities for government contracts, economic development programs, educational courses, and requirements for licenses, permits, and taxes.

The bill aims to enhance support for small businesses by providing them with easy access to essential resources and opportunities that can aid in their establishment, development, and expansion. By consolidating this information in one location, the clearinghouse is expected to streamline the process for small businesses to navigate state and local regulations and take advantage of available programs and opportunities.
