1An Act to amend 289.33 (7) (a) 1. of the statutes;
relating to: membership on
2landfill and hazardous waste facility negotiating committees.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides a process for negotiation and arbitration between a
person who wishes to construct or expand a landfill or a hazardous waste facility and
a committee representing those affected municipalities and counties that choose to
participate in the process. An affected municipality or county is one in which a
facility is proposed to be located or one whose boundary is within 1,500 feet of the
area in which waste would be treated, stored, or disposed of. Other municipalities
may participate in the negotiation and arbitration process with the agreement of all
parties to the process. Under current law, a town, city, or village in which all or part
of the facility is proposed to be located may appoint four members to a committee or
the number of members appointed by the county and other affected municipalities
plus two, whichever is greater.
Under this bill, a town, city, or village in which all or part of a landfill or a
hazardous waste facility is proposed to be located may appoint four members to a
committee or the number of members appointed by the county, other affected
municipalities, and any municipalities added by agreement of the parties plus two,
whichever is greater.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
