What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under this bill, if a city, village, town, or county that maintains property tax assessment records (taxation district) maintains an Internet listing of property taxes assessed by the taxation district and if the listing contains the name of a property owner whose property is assessed, the listing may not be searchable, by name, by members of the general public. Such an Internet listing may contain the property taxes assessed by the taxation district for each parcel number or street address within the jurisdiction.

The bill also specifically authorizes a taxation district to maintain records in its offices that contain the property taxes assessed by the taxation district for each parcel number or street address within the jurisdiction, and these office records may also contain the name of the property owner.
