AB 63 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: financing the operating costs and certain out-of-state projects of nonprofit institutions and compensation of employees of the Wisconsin Health and Educational Facilities Authority. (FE)

AB 63 authorizes the Wisconsin Health and Educational Facilities Authority (WHEFA) to provide working capital loans to participating health, educational, and nonprofit institutions for operating expenses. It expands WHEFA's ability to make loans for facility projects, requiring security like mortgages and limiting loan amounts to project costs or approved working capital. The bill permits out-of-state projects only if they include a substantial Wisconsin component, as determined by WHEFA. It also sets salary caps for WHEFA's executive staff based on state pay scales for specific leadership roles.
