AB42,1,2
1An Act to amend 60.30 (2) (a) of the statutes;
relating to: residency
2requirements for certain appointed town officers.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, only an elector of the town may hold a town office, other than
an appointed town assessor. This bill changes current law by allowing an appointed
town clerk, treasurer or combined clerk and treasurer to serve as a town officer even
if he or she is not an elector of the town. Under the bill, an elected town clerk,
treasurer or combined clerk and treasurer would still be required to be an elector of
the town.
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
