Relating to: online clearinghouse of information for small businesses in Wisconsin. (FE)
SB 740 would create an online hub for Wisconsin small businesses, managed by the state department, to centralize key information. The clearinghouse must include details on government contract bidding opportunities, economic development programs, business training events, licensing requirements, and tax/fee obligations. It requires coordination with state agencies (like economic development and revenue departments), local governments, and economic organizations to compile and publish this information. The bill directly affects Wisconsin small businesses seeking to navigate state regulations, contracts, and support programs. The online resource aims to simplify access to state-level business support information.
