1An Act to create 32.035 (3m) and 32.035 (5) (h) of the statutes;
relating to: the
2preparation of agricultural impact statements by the department of
3agriculture, trade and consumer protection.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the department of agriculture, trade and consumer
protection (DATCP) prepares an agricultural impact statement (AIS) for certain
condemnation projects affecting farm operations. Upon completing the impact
statement, DATCP must distribute it to the governor's office; the senate and
assembly committees on agriculture and transportation; all local and regional units
of government that have jurisdiction over the project; local and regional news media
in the affected area; libraries in the affected area; any individual, group, club or
committee that has demonstrated an interest and has requested receipt of such
information; and the condemnor.
This bill directs DATCP, before preparing an AIS, to notify each owner of
property that may be taken for the project that DATCP may prepare an AIS. The
notice must inform the owner that he or she may submit information to DATCP on
the potential effects of the project. The bill also directs DATCP, upon completing the
impact statement, to distribute it to each owner of property that may be taken for the
project.
For further information see the state 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:
