What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, a city, village, town, or county may require a presidential or

vice-presidential campaign to pay in advance for certain costs the local government

expects to incur that are directly related to a campaign event held at a public venue.

The bill authorizes the local government to require the payment of its estimated costs

in advance of issuing a permit to hold the event. The costs to which the bill applies

are costs for police and sanitation services.

The bill also prohibits a political subdivision from issuing a campaign event

permit to a presidential or vice-presidential campaign if the political subdivision has

evidence that the campaign owes money to another Wisconsin political subdivision

for unpaid campaign event costs.
