1995 - 1996 LEGISLATURE

1995 Senate BILL 302

August 16, 1995 - Introduced by Senators Rosenzweig and Darling, cosponsored by Representatives Duff, Walker, Schneiders and Olsen. Referred to Committee on Education and Financial Institutions.

SB302,1,3 An Act to amend 38.10 (1) (intro.), 38.10 (2) (b) and 38.10 (2) (g); and to create 38.10 (1g) of the statutes; relating to: the appointment committee for Milwaukee Area Technical College district board members.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, members of technical college district boards are appointed by an appointment committee. If the petition for creation of a district was filed by the governing bodies of school districts or municipalities, the school board presidents of school districts having territory within the district constitute the appointment committee. If the petition for creation of a district was filed by the governing bodies of counties or any combination of school districts, counties and municipalities, the county board chairpersons of counties having territory within the district constitute the appointment committee.

This bill provides that the appointment committee for Milwaukee Area Technical College district board members consists of the county executives of counties having territory within the district, except that, if a county does not have a county executive, the county board chairperson of that county serves on the appointment committee.

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