What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, no portion of any building or structure located within one mile of the

center of the state capitol building that is constructed on or after April 28, 1990, may

exceed the elevation of 1,032.8 feet above sea level (the elevation of the base of the

capitol dome). The city of Madison may grant exceptions to the prohibition for

flagpoles, spires, elevator penthouses, or similar building features.

This bill extends the current prohibition to any building or structure located

within two miles of the center of the state capitol building, subject to the same

exceptions. The extension does not apply to any building or structure that was

constructed before the day the bill becomes law.
