SB1112,1,3
1
An Act
to amend
20.835 (5) (r), 70.119 (1), 70.119 (2), 70.119 (7) (a) and 70.119
2
(7) (c) of the statutes;
relating to:
state payments for municipal services and
3
making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, instead of paying property taxes, the state pays municipalities for municipal services provided to state facilities located in the municipalities. The state negotiates the payment amount with each municipality based on the state’s calculation of the value of state property located in the municipality. If the appropriation for making the payments for municipal services is insufficient for paying the full amount of all the negotiated payments, the state prorates the payments among the municipalities.
Under this bill, the state pays the full amount of all payments to municipalities for municipal services.
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:
