Relating to: eliminating defunct references to certain economic development positions (suggested as remedial language by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation).
AB 940 repeals two outdated sections of Wisconsin law (238.03(5) and 238.04(15)) that referenced economic development positions no longer in use. The bill, proposed by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation as remedial language, removes these defunct references to clean up the statutes. It does not create new policies or affect any individuals or programs. This is a routine legislative revision to maintain accurate legal language.
