Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a local unit of government’s chief executive officer may exercise by proclamation the emergency power conferred to the local unit of government if the local unit of government’s governing body is unable to meet promptly. This bill limits the length of such proclamation to 60 days, unless extended by the local unit of government’s governing body. The bill also defines “chief executive officer” as any of the following: 1) the county executive of a county, the county administrator of a county, or, in a county with an administrative coordinator, the county board chair of a county; 2) the mayor or city manager of a city; 3) the village president of a village; 4) the town board chairperson of a town; or 5) a person acting as one of the above stated persons.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
AB306,1

s. 323.11 that appear necessary and expedient.

The
9
proclamation shall be subject to ratification, alteration, modification,
