Marklein, Spiros, Tittl, Doyle, Ballweg and Loudenbeck, cosponsored by

AB178,1,2 1An Act to amend 895.527 (4) of the statutes; relating to: operation of certain
2existing sport shooting ranges.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides that any sport shooting range that existed on June 18,
2010, may continue to operate as a sport shooting range at that location,
notwithstanding the provisions of a zoning ordinance, if the sport shooting range was
a lawful use or a legal nonconforming use under a zoning ordinance in effect on June
18, 2010. This bill changes the date on which a sport shooting range must have been
in existence in order to continue operation, notwithstanding the provisions of a
zoning ordinance, from June 18, 2010, to July 16, 2013.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
