AB177,1,3 1An Act to amend 66.05 (9) (c) of the statutes; relating to: the razing of a historic
2building following preparation of a historic record of the building by the state
3historical society.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the state historical society (society) is required to notify a
city, village, town or county (municipality) of any historic building that is located in
the municipality. If an order is issued to raze a historic building, if an application
is made to raze a historic building or if a municipality intends to raze a historic
building, the municipality in which the building is located is required to notify the
society of the order, application or intent. No historic building may be razed under
current law for 30 days after the notice is given. During the 30-day period, the
society has access to the historic building to create or preserve a historic record.
Under this bill, the society may authorize the person who intends to raze the
historic building to commence with the razing before the end of the 30-day period if
the society has completed its documentation of the historic building.
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:
