What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a first class city (presently only Milwaukee) has a public

debt amortization fund (fund), which is a segregated fund that is used to help the

city's management of its general obligation debt. The fund is governed by a

commission.

This bill makes a number of technical changes to the operation of the fund.

Currently, the commission's secretary must make an annual report to the common

council about the fund on or about January 15. The bill changes the date to

September 30. Also under current law, and subject to some exceptions, the

commission may use the fund to acquire for cancellation general obligation bonds or

notes of the city prior to the maturity of such debt. Under the bill, the commission

may also use the fund to make interest and principal payments on such debt without

regard to the maturity of the debt.
