What it would have done

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

One-time purchase of equipment under 1989 Wisconsin Act 31 Under current law, the Department of Military Affairs emergency response training appropriation provides that one of the allowed expenditures is to provide equipment under 1989 Wisconsin Act 31 . This bill removes that language as the one-time purchase of such equipment has been completed.

Safety data sheets Current law relating to hazardous substances information and emergency planning refers to “material safety data sheets.” This bill removes the word “material” to conform the statute with current federal terminology.

Read the full summary

County, city, village, and town heads of emergency management Under current law, each county board must designate a head of “emergency management” and the governing body of each city, village, or town must designate a head of “emergency management services.” This bill provides that the governing body of each city, village, or town must designate a head of “emergency management,” consistent with what is required of county boards, and also changes other statutory references to be head of “emergency management” for consistency.
