What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows University of Wisconsin (UW) parking fees and fines to be used

for campus safety and transportation-related programs. Current law authorizes the

Board of Regents of the UW System and UW chancellors to regulate motor vehicle

parking on property under their jurisdiction. Current law requires that any parking

fines or fees collected by a UW institution pursuant to such regulations must be used

only to enforce the regulations or develop and operate parking or other

transportation facilities at the institution. This bill also allows the parking fines or

fees to be used for any campus safety or transportation-related program developed

or operated at the institution at which the fines or fees are collected.

The bill also prohibits the building commission from authorizing any general

fund supported borrowing to aid in the construction of parking facilities at any UW

institution.
