The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
245,1 Section 1. 60.10 (2) (m) of the statutes is created to read:
60.10 (2) (m) Membership of town sanitary district commission. If the town board does not constitute itself as the town sanitary district commission, direct the town board to increase the membership of the town sanitary district commission under subch. IX from 3 members to 5 members, or direct the town board to decrease the membership of the town sanitary district commission from 5 members to 3 members, except that the town meeting may not act under this paragraph more frequently than every 2 years. If a town meeting directs the town board to decrease the membership of the town sanitary district commission, the reduction in members first applies upon the expiration of the terms of the first 2 commissioners whose terms expire at the same time after the town meeting directs the town board to reduce the number of commissioners.
245,2 Section 2. 60.75 (1) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
60.75 (1) (a) Except as provided in par. (b), the commission shall consist of 3 or 5 members.

If the commissioners first elected in a newly established town sanitary district are elected at a special election, the town board shall specify shorter staggered terms for the commissioners so that their successors may be elected at a regular spring election.
245,5 Section 5. 60.75 (2) (bm) of the statutes is created to read:
60.75 (2) (bm) Except as provided under par. (c), of the commissioners in a district in which the town board changes the number of commissioners from 3 to 5 or of the commissioners first appointed or elected in a newly established town sanitary district, which consists of 5 members, 2 shall be appointed or elected for a term of 2 years, 2 for a term of 4 years, and one for a term of 6 years.
