Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the counties of Kenosha, Milwaukee, and Racine must create a regional transit authority. The authority is responsible for the coordination of highway and transit programs within these counties. The governing body of the authority consists of seven members. No action may be taken by the authority unless at least six members vote to approve the action.

Under this bill, the authority may take action if five members vote to approve the action.
