What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

2017 Wisconsin Act 59

, the 2017 biennial budget act, repealed, effective June

30, 2021, a grant program the Department of Safety and Professional Services

administers to provide grants to persons and businesses that are served by failing

private on-site wastewater treatment systems (POWTS), which are commonly

known as septic tanks. This bill delays the elimination of the POWTS grant program

to June 30, 2023.

The bill requires DSPS to prepare literature that describes the eligibility for

receiving a POWTS grant for a residence. Under the bill, DSPS supplies the

literature to counties, and counties must distribute the literature to recipients of

public benefits.
