1997 Senate BILL 76

February 12, 1997 - Introduced by Joint committee on Legislative Organization. Referred to Committee on Senate Organization.

SB76,1,3 An Act to amend 13.48 (18), 13.48 (18), 20.924 (1) (b) and 20.924 (1) (b) of the statutes; relating to: acquisition of certain property by the building commission.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, the building commission may utilize moneys in the state building trust fund to acquire property adjacent to or within 2 blocks of any state facility for the purpose of establishing and developing green spaces and possible future construction. Any acquisition of land costing more than $250,000 must first be enumerated in the authorized state building program as approved by law.

This bill provides that the building commission may acquire property for green spaces or possible future construction, and specifically may proceed to acquire property in the city of Madison within any of the 16 blocks abutting the Capitol Square without prior enumeration in the authorized state building program. This authorization does not apply after June 30, 2002. The bill does not authorize construction on any of the acquired property costing more than $250,000 without prior enumeration in the authorized state building program.

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