SB 62 Wisconsin Senate · 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)

SB 62 modifies how Wisconsin's Health and Educational Facilities Authority (WHEFA) finances projects for nonprofit institutions like hospitals, schools, and research organizations. It creates new provisions to fund working capital for operating expenses and expands WHEFA's ability to make loans for facility projects, requiring security arrangements like mortgages. The bill also allows WHEFA to fund out-of-state projects only if they include a substantial Wisconsin component, as determined by the authority. These changes directly affect participating nonprofit institutions by altering how they access financing for operations and facilities. The bill adjusts salary limits for WHEFA staff but focuses primarily on restructuring the authority's financing mechanisms.
