The county board or its designated standing committee shall endeavor to obtain easements or title in fee simple by conveyance of the lands or interests required, to the county or the state as grantee, all as directed in the department's order. The instrument of conveyance shall be subject to approval by the department, and shall be recorded in the office of the register of deeds and filed with the department. If the needed lands or interests therein cannot be purchased expeditiously within the agreed appraised price, the county board or its designated standing committee may acquire them by condemnation under ch. 32, but any award by the county board or its designated standing committee in excess of the agreed appraisal price shall be subject to review by the department.

The net proceeds of the sales or rentals shall be remitted to the state or retained and used for expressway purposes when so directed by the department.

Note: 1995 Wis. Act 201 changed the cross-references in this provision from s. 59.965 to s. 59.83, but renumbered s. 59.965 to be s. 59.84.

AB378, s. 287 Section 287. The amendment of 84.31 (9) of the statutes by 1995 Wisconsin Act 201 is not repealed by 1995 Wisconsin Act 227. Both amendments stand.

VIII of ch. 60. No such ordinance may be rescinded from May 17, 1988, to June 30, 1991, in any county with a population density of 100 or more persons per square mile.

Note: Section 59.695 was renumbered from s. 59.972 by 1995 Wis. Act 201, and s. 59.972 was repealed by 1995 Wis. Act 455, without taking the treatment by Act 201 into account. The repeal stands. The 2nd sentence is no longer of any effect and is therefore deleted.

Note: Reconciles the treatment of this provision by 1995 Wis. Acts 227 and 378. Chapter 162 was renumbered to ch. 280 by Act 227. Act 378 replaced "s. 162.03" with "that chapter" while Act 227 replaced "162.03" with "280.13" to reflect the renumbering of that provision by Act 227. The substantive change by Act 378 is retained.

AB378, s. 294 Section 294. The amendment of 101.143 (3) (a) 5. of the statutes by 1995 Wisconsin Act 227 is not repealed by 1995 Wisconsin Act 247. Both amendments stand.

Note: There is no conflict of substance.

No compensation may be paid to that employe for temporary disability during the healing period.

Note: Replaces "child" with "juvenile" for consistency of references with language of ch. 938.

AB378, s. 296 Section 296. 102.07 (17) of the statutes, as created by 1995 Wisconsin Act 289, is renumbered 102.07 (17m).

Note: 1995 Wis. Act 281 also created a s. 102.07 (17).

Any contract hereafter made for the erection, construction, remodeling, repairing or demolition of any project of public works, except contracts for the construction or maintenance of public highways, streets and bridges, to which the state, any state agency or the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority is a party shall contain a stipulation that no person described in sub. (2m) may be permitted to work a greater number of hours per day or per calendar week than the prevailing hours of labor determined under sub.

(3). A reference to the prevailing wage rates and prevailing hours of labor determined under sub. (3) shall be published in the notice issued for the purpose of securing bids for the project. If any contract or subcontract for a project that is subject to this section is entered into, the prevailing wage rates and prevailing hours of labor determined under sub. (3) shall be physically incorporated into and made a part of the contract or subcontract, except that for a minor subcontract, as determined by the department, the department shall prescribe by rule the method of notifying the minor subcontractor of the prevailing wage rates and prevailing hours of labor applicable to the minor subcontract. The prevailing wage rates and prevailing hours of labor applicable to a contract or subcontract may not be changed during the time that the contract or subcontract is in force.

Note: Reconciles conflicts in the treatment of this provision by 1995 Wis. Acts 215 and 225 by eliminating the treatment by the revisor's correction bill (Act 225), which was nonsubstantive, and reenacting the provision as affected by Act 215.

AB378, s. 299 Section 299. 103.49 (3g) of the statutes, as affected by 1995 Wisconsin Act 215, section 57, and 1995 Wisconsin Act 225, section 350, is amended to read:

Section 111.322 (2m) applies to discharge and other discriminatory acts arising in connection with any proceeding under this section.

Note: Amends cross-reference for correct parallel construction with prior sentence. Chapter 101 authority is transferred to the department of commerce effective 7-1-96. 1995 Wis. Act 215 changed the first cross-reference to reflect the statutory authority for the department of industry, labor and job development, but failed to change the 2nd.

AB378, s. 301 Section 301. 103.49 (7) (a) of the statutes, as affected by 1995 Wisconsin Act 215, is amended to read:

The department shall include with any such name the address of such person and shall specify when such person failed to pay the prevailing wage rate and when such person failed to pay paid less than 1.5 times the hourly basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of the prevailing hours of labor. A state agency or the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority may not award any contract to such person unless otherwise recommended by the department or unless 3 years have elapsed from the date the department issued its findings or date of final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, whichever is later.

Note: Eliminates double negative for internal parallel construction and conformity with other sections created by 1995 Wis. Act 215.

AB378, s. 50 Section 50. 103.50 (1) (a) of the statutes, as affected by 1995 Wisconsin Act 215, is amended to read:

Note: Reconciles conflicts in the treatment of this provision by 1995 Wis. Acts 215 and 225 by eliminating the treatment by the revisor's correction bill (Act 225), which was nonsubstantive, and reenacting the provision as affected by Act 215.

AB378, s. 303 Section 303. 103.62 (1) (c) of the statutes, as affected by 1995 Wisconsin Act 225, is amended to read:

The department may also provisionally schedule a hearing concerning any matter in the determination. If, after hearing testimony, the appeal tribunal finds that the appellant's explanation does not establish good cause for nonappearance, the appeal tribunal shall issue a decision containing this finding and dismissing the appeal. If, after hearing testimony, the appeal tribunal finds that the appellant's explanation establishes good cause for nonappearance, the appeal tribunal shall issue a decision containing this finding. The same or another appeal tribunal established by the department for this purpose shall then issue a decision under sub.
