What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with the exception of certain circuit court branches of the
Rock County circuit court, circuit court records are required to be kept at the
courthouse offices located at the county seat. At one time there were circuit court
branches located in Beloit, which is not the county seat for Rock County. There are
no longer any circuit court branches located in Beloit.
This bill eliminates the exception for Rock County to reflect the fact that all
branches of the Rock County circuit court are now located in Janesville, which is the
county seat for Rock County.
