***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
AN ACT to amend 985.065 (2) (a) of the statutes; relating to: bid requirement
for publication and printing of county board proceedings, notices, and
advertisements in counties having a population of 250,000 or more and at
least two English newspapers published daily.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, in counties that have a population of 250,000 or more, the
county board must, at its annual meeting, direct the county clerk to invite proposals
from the English newspapers published daily in that county for the publication and
printing of the board[s proceedings and all other notices or advertisements
authorized or required to be published or printed by the board and all officers,
boards, and departments of that county during the following year. This bill
modifies the requirement, providing that only counties that have a population of
250,000 or more and have at least two English newspapers published daily must
direct the county clerk to invite proposals for publication and printing.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 985.065 (2) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
