2003 - 2004 LEGISLATURE

2003 Assembly BILL 443

July 21, 2003 - Introduced by Representatives Vrakas, Nischke, Albers, Bies, Grothman, Gunderson, Hines, Jeskewitz, Kestell, Ladwig, LeMahieu, Lothian, Miller, Musser, Ott and Townsend, cosponsored by Senator Kedzie. Referred to Committee on Urban and Local Affairs.

AB443,1,2 An Act to amend 236.43 (3) of the statutes; relating to: allowing counties to request that certain platted land be vacated.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law permits a court to vacate land in a city, village, or town platted as a public park or playground if the city, village, or town in which the land is located so requests and if the land has never been used or developed as a public park or playground. This bill allows a county to request a court to vacate such platted land located in the county and eliminates the requirement that the land has never been used as a public park or playground.

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

AB443, s. 1 Section 1. 236.43 (3) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB443,1,7 236.43 (3) The court may vacate land, in a city, county, village or town, platted as a public park or playground upon the application of the local legislative body of such city, county, village or town where the land has never been developed or used by said city, county, village or town as a public park or playground.
