What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Generally under current law, a city, village, town, or county (political

subdivision) may designate and regulate historic properties to preserve their

significant characteristics. Cities may also exercise such authority with regard to

archaeological landmarks and, in some cases, a city is required to exercise such

regulatory authority.

Under this bill, with regard to properties owned by a certain county, a 2nd class

city may not designate or regulate such historic, or archaeological, properties or

districts. The bill only applies to a 2nd class city that is located in a county with a

population greater than 380,000, which is also adjacent to a county with a population

greater than 800,000. If such a city has in effect on the effective date of the bill an

ordinance or regulation that regulates such county-owned historic, or

archaeological, properties or districts, the ordinance does not apply and may not be

enforced.
