Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
The conservation congress is a statewide independent organization of citizens
that serves the Natural Resources Board in an advisory capacity on all matters under
the jurisdiction of the Natural Resources Board, such as those concerning
conservation and the environment.
Under this bill, the Natural Resources Board may not accept the results of a
vote on an advisory question made during any spring county meeting of the
conservation congress if nonresidents were allowed to vote at that county meeting
on the advisory question or to vote for delegates of the conservation congress.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
