What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, with regard to a city treasurer, comptroller, chief of police,

municipal judge, and other officials as the common council may direct, such officers

are required to execute and file an official bond only if the common council directs

them to do so. Similarly under the bill, a village clerk, treasurer, marshal, municipal

judge, and constable are required to execute and file an official bond only if the village

board directs them to do so. If a city or village does not require an official to execute

and file an official bond, the bill requires the governmental body to obtain an

insurance policy that covers the official. Under current law, these city and village

officials are required to execute and file an official bond.
