The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
Joint Legislative Council prefatory note: This bill was prepared for the Joint
Legislative Council's Special Committee on Local Service Consolidation.
Current law requires that, beginning in 2010, the amount that each county or
municipality spends annually for emergency services that are funded by county or
municipal aid payments (shared revenue) be no less than the amount that the county or
municipality spent in 2009 for emergency services, not including capital expenditures
and one-time expenses. If a county or municipality does not comply with this
requirement, the Department of Revenue (DOR) may reduce payments to the county or
municipality under the shared revenue program. With the approval of DOR, a county or
municipality may decrease the amount it spends for emergency services below its 2009
amount if the decrease is a result of operating more efficiently.
The bill repeals this requirement.
AB138, s. 1
