What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill repeals a provision created in 2015 Wisconsin Act 60 that requires Milwaukee County to transfer, unencumbered, the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts to the Wisconsin Center District (WCD). The provision specifies that the transfer must take effect upon the adoption of a resolution requesting the transfer by the WCD board of directors and a written proclamation of the Milwaukee County executive supporting the transfer, notwithstanding any action taken by the Milwaukee County board to the contrary. The transfer may take place without county board approval.
