Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend 985.065 (2) (a) of the statutes; relating to: bid requirement for publication and printing of county board proceedings, notices, and advertisements in counties having a population of 250,000 or more and at least two English newspapers published daily.
AI Summary
This bill amends Wisconsin state statute 985.065(2)(a) to modify the bid requirements for county board proceedings, notices, and advertisements in counties with a population of 250,000 or more that have at least two English-language daily newspapers. Specifically, the bill requires the county board of supervisors to direct the county clerk to solicit proposals from these daily English newspapers for publishing and printing the board's proceedings, notices, and advertisements for the upcoming year. The bill allows for the publications and advertisements to be divided and classified at the board's discretion. The change appears to formalize and standardize the process for selecting newspapers to publish official county communications in larger counties, potentially promoting competition and transparency in the bidding process for such publications.
