What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain provisions of the statutes apply to populous

counties. Generally, under current law, these “populous counties” provisions apply

to counties having a population of 500,000 or more, based on the most recent census

data (currently only Milwaukee County). This bill changes the standard in these

“populous counties” provisions to counties having a population of 750,000 or more

(currently only Milwaukee County).
