What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The constitution provides that county treasurers shall be elected in each county.

This amendment, proposed to the 2011 legislature on first consideration, provides

that the treasurer of Milwaukee county shall be appointed by the county executive,

with the concurrence of the county board, unless another method of appointment is

provided by law.

A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive

legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
