What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill makes changes to the composition of the Southeastern Wisconsin Fox

River Commission for the Illinois Fox River basin.

Current law establishes the commission and grants to it the authority to

develop and carry out certain plans, projects, and programs to improve water quality

and recreation in the Fox River system between the northern boundary of the city

of Waukesha and the point immediately below the Waterford Dam. The commission

is governed by a board of commissioners consisting, among others, of the mayors,

village presidents, or town board chairpersons of each municipality adjacent to the

Fox River system in Waukesha and Racine counties, or their designees. This bill

removes from the commission the town board chairperson of the town of Salem or his

or her designee and the village president of the village of Silver Lake or his or her

designee, and adds to the commission the village president of the village of Salem

Lakes or his or her designee.
