AB410,1,2
1An Act to amend 65.90 (5) (b) of the statutes;
relating to: publication
2requirements for changes to county budgets.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a county board may authorize its standing finance
committee to transfer funds between budgeted items of an individual county office
or department and to supplement the appropriations for a particular office,
department or activity by transfers from the contingent fund. If the finance
committee makes a transfer from the contingent fund, the county board is required
to publish a legal notice concerning the transfer in an official newspaper.
This bill repeals the publication requirement for finance committee transfers
from the contingent fund.
For further information see the local 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:
