Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain provisions of the statutes apply to populous counties. Generally, under current law, these “populous counties” provisions apply to counties having a population of 500,000 or more, based on the most recent census data (currently only Milwaukee County). This bill changes the standard in these “populous counties” provisions to counties having a population of 750,000 or more (currently only Milwaukee County).
