AB551,1,3
1An Act to amend 145.245 (7) (b) of the statutes;
relating to: maximum
2allowable grants under the private sewage system replacement or
3rehabilitation grant program.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who owns a failing private sewage system may
obtain a grant from the state for the purpose of replacing or rehabilitating the private
sewage system, if the person and the private sewage system satisfy specified criteria.
With certain exceptions, the maximum cost allowable in determining the amount of
a grant is the cost of rehabilitating or replacing a private sewage system by the least
costly methods. Currently, the installation of a holding tank may be one of the least
costly methods of rehabilitating or replacing a failing private sewage system.
This bill specifies that, with certain exceptions, the maximum cost allowable in
determining the amount of a grant is the cost of rehabilitating or replacing a private
sewage system by the least costly methods, other than by installing a holding tank.
For further information see the state and 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:
