AB27,1,2 An Act to amend 251.11 (1) and 251.115 of the statutes; relating to: multiple jurisdiction health departments.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the requirement that a governing body for a multiple jurisdiction health department use either equalized valuation or a per capita determination to prepare a budget of proposed expenditures for the ensuing fiscal year. This bill instead requires a governing body for a multiple jurisdiction health department to determine a budget in a manner agreed upon by the governing bodies of the participating entities.

For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
