Law Revision Committee. Referred to
Committee on Rules.
AB1105,1,3
1An Act to amend 221.0802 of the statutes;
relating to: eliminating an obsolete
2provision relating to the state treasurer (suggested as remedial legislation by
3the Office of the State Treasurer).
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill eliminates an obsolete provision relating to the duties of the state
treasurer.
Under current law, a bank may place its affairs and assets under the control of
the Division of Banking in the Department of Financial Institutions, which takes
possession of the bank. The bank must pay the Division the actual cost of the
liquidation proceedings and the Division must transfer to the state treasurer the
amount paid.
In
2003 Wisconsin Act 33, the state treasurer's duty to have custody of moneys
paid into the state treasury was eliminated.
This bill eliminates the requirement that the Division transfer the amounts
described above to the state treasurer.
For further information, see the Notes provided by the Law Revision
Committee of the Joint Legislative Council.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
Law Revision Committee prefatory note: This bill is a remedial legislation
proposal, requested by the Office of the State Treasurer and introduced by the Law
Revision Committee under s. 13.83 (1) (c) 4. and 5., stats. After careful consideration of
the various provisions of the bill, the Law Revision Committee has determined that this
bill makes minor substantive changes in the statutes, and that these changes are
desirable as a matter of public policy.
