What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, upon the incorporation of a town as a city or village, the clerk

of the circuit court of the county in which the incorporation petition was filed is

required to organize the first election for officers of the newly incorporated city or

village. Under this bill, the responsibility for organizing the election is changed to

the county clerk of the county in which the petition was filed.
