March 25, 2003 - Introduced by Representatives Stone, McCormick, Krawczyk, M. Lehman, Nischke, Ladwig, Olsen, Ainsworth, J. Lehman, J. Wood, Gielow, Weber, Lassa, Coggs, Hines, Gunderson, Albers and Vrakas, cosponsored by Senators Darling, Roessler and Harsdorf. Referred to Committee on Colleges and Universities.

AB204,1,2 An Act to amend 38.15 (3) (c) 3. of the statutes; relating to: capital expenditures by technical college district boards for applied technology centers.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

With certain exceptions, current law requires a technical college district board to hold a referendum if it intends to make a capital expenditure in excess of $1,000,000. The requirement does not apply to a capital expenditure to purchase or construct an applied technology center if the state Technical College System Board approves, the total amount of the expenditure is no more than $5,000,000, and the expenditure is made before July 1, 2003. This bill extends this date to July 1, 2005.

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:
