AB464,1,2
1An Act to amend 75.106 (1) (a) of the statutes;
relating to: the assignment of
2property contaminated by hazardous substances.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a county may assign to a person the county's right to take
judgment on property that is subject to foreclosure for delinquent taxes, if the parcel
is a brownfield and if the person to whom the property is assigned agrees to clean up
the property. Under current law, a brownfield is, generally, any abandoned, idle, or
underused industrial or commercial property that has not been expanded or
redeveloped because of actual or perceived environmental contamination. Under
this bill, for purposes of assigning contaminated property, a brownfield is any
abandoned, idle, or underused industrial or commercial property or any abandoned
residential property.
For further information see the state and 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:
