AB 850 sets specific annual spending limits for Wisconsin's agricultural exports program, requiring the Center for International Agribusiness Marketing to allocate $2.5 million toward export promotion (sub. (2)(a)) and $1.25 million each toward two other export objectives (sub. (2)(b) and (c)), while capping total annual spending at $1 million. The bill increases funding by $1.07 million for fiscal year 2025-26 and $1.10 million for 2026-27 under the program's appropriation, and adds one full-time administrative position to manage the program.
