2025 Senate Bill 919 aims to streamline the statutes related to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) by repealing outdated provisions. Specifically, the bill eliminates the requirement for WEDC to hire a full-time electronics manufacturing small business development director and to appoint an economic development liaison project position, both of which expired on December 31, 2022. These changes are proposed as remedial legislation to remove defunct references that no longer serve a purpose in the current economic development framework.

The bill is introduced by the Law Revision Committee and is based on recommendations from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation. By repealing these obsolete provisions, the legislation seeks to clarify and modernize the statutory language governing WEDC's operations, thereby enhancing its efficiency and effectiveness in promoting economic development in Wisconsin.
