What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, local redistricting in Wisconsin occurs in three phases following each federal decennial census. The process starts at the county level in which counties must adopt tentative county supervisory district plans within 60 days after the official publication of the census data for Wisconsin, but no later than July 1 following the year of the census—July 1, 2021, in the current redistricting cycle. After counties adopt tentative county supervisory district plans, municipalities then have 60 days in which to adjust ward boundaries as needed based on the census. Once municipalities adopt new ward plans, counties then have 60 days within which to adopt final county supervisory district plans, and cities have 60 days within which to adopt aldermanic districts where applicable.
Under federal law, the U.S. Census Bureau must deliver census data to the states for redistricting purposes no later than March 31 of the year following the census—March 31, 2021, in the current redistricting cycle. However, due to delays in the census process resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic, it is anticipated that Wisconsin will not receive census data based on the 2020 federal decennial census until as late as the end of September 2021.

This bill does all of the following with respect to the local redistricting timeline following the 2020 federal decennial census:
1. Provides that counties have until February 22, 2022, to adopt tentative county supervisory district plans based on the 2020 federal decennial census.
2. Provides that municipalities may not adopt new ward plans sooner than April 15, 2022, nor later than May 15, 2022. Under the bill, in adopting new ward plans, municipalities must take into account any previously enacted congressional or legislative redistricting plan based on the 2020 federal decennial census.
3. Provides, consistent with current law, that each final county supervisory district plan adopted on the basis of the 2020 federal decennial census must be adopted within 60 days after every municipality in the county adjusts its wards, as specified above.
4. As a result in delays to the local redistricting timeline due to the delay in the state's receipt of census data for redistricting purposes, specifies that city aldermanic district plans adopted on the basis of the 2020 federal decennial census first apply to the 2023 spring primary and election and that final county supervisory district plans adopted on the basis of the 2020 federal decennial census first apply to the 2024 spring primary and election or the 2023 spring primary and election in those counties that have provided by ordinance for staggered terms of office for county board supervisors.
