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:
