Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill makes changes to the required membership of the board of
commissioners of public inland lake protection and rehabilitation districts (lake
districts).
Under current law, a county may establish one or more lake districts in the
county. A board of commissioners is established to manage the affairs of a lake
district, which include enacting boating ordinances and receiving state funding for
local water safety patrols. Under current law, the board consists of five members, one
of whom must be a resident of the lake district appointed by the governing body of
the town, village, or city within which the largest portion by valuation of the lake
district lies. Under this bill, the governing body may either appoint a resident of the
lake district or one of the members of the governing body of the town, village, or city
within which the largest portion of the valuation of the lake district lies.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB372,2,7
