Under current law, the State Historical Society (SHS) operates and maintains certain historic sites such as Villa Louis and Old World Wisconsin. Current law, however, permits the SHS to enter into a lease agreement with the Circus World Museum Foundation, Inc., to operate Circus World Museum. This bill provides that if such a lease agreement is not in effect, the SHS is required to operate and maintain Circus World Museum.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
