What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law provides a process whereby an insurer may withhold a portion of property insurance proceeds that are payable to an insured for damage by fire or explosion to insured property located in a first class city (Milwaukee), excluding one-family and two-family dwellings that are occupied by the named insured. The insurer, after notice and other requirements are satisfied, may pay to the city of Milwaukee (city) from the withheld proceeds funds to reimburse the city for expenses incurred to demolish the damaged insured property or abate a nuisance with respect to the insured property. The insurer may pay the proceeds to the city only if the insured does not repair or replace the damaged portions of the insured property and the city, within 90 days after notice from the insurer, either: 1) commences an action or proceeding relating to demolition of the property or abatement of a nuisance with respect to the property; or 2) obtains a release from the insured consenting to demolition of the damaged structure. This bill expands this process for withholding insurance proceeds for reimbursement of expenses to real property located in any city or village in the state.
