relating to: the membership
2of a technical college district board that governs a technical college district

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a technical college district board (district board) consists of
nine members who are residents of the technical college district, including two
employers, two employees, a school district administrator, a state or local elected
official, and three additional members. This bill requires at least one member of a
district board that governs a technical college district encompassing a 1st class city
(presently only Milwaukee) to be a resident of a county other than Milwaukee
County. The bill permits current members of that district board to serve their terms,
but requires all vacancies occurring on that district board to be filled with members
who are residents of counties other than Milwaukee County until the membership
of the district board is brought into conformance with this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
