What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
