2003 - 2004 LEGISLATURE
April 8, 2003 - Introduced by
Joint Committee For Review of Administrative
Rules. Referred to Committee on Natural Resources.
AB253,1,2
1An Act to amend 287.235 (1) of the statutes;
relating to: consideration of
2population in determining eligibility for recycling efficiency incentive grants.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to make
recycling efficiency incentive grants to local units of government that are responsible
for operating recycling programs (responsible units).
This bill prohibits DNR from considering the population of a responsible unit
in determining eligibility for a recycling efficiency incentive grant.
This bill is introduced as required by s. 227.19 (5) (e), stats., in support of the
objection of the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on
February 6, 2003, and the objection of the Joint Committee for Review of
Administrative Rules on March 6, 2003, to the issuance of a portion of clearinghouse
rule number 02-60 by DNR. The proposed rule provided several ways for a
responsible unit to be eligible for a recycling efficiency incentive grant. One of the
ways was only available to a responsible unit with a population of at least 50,000.
For further information see the local 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:
AB253, s. 1
