What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill authorizes a town board to choose whether to require a municipal town

judge to execute and file an official bond with the town clerk upon his or her election

or appointment. If the town does not require a municipal judge to execute and file

a bond, the town must obtain a dishonesty or other appropriate insurance policy that

covers the judge. These provisions are similar to current law provisions that apply

to city and village municipal judges.
