AB600,1,2 An Act to amend 33.22 (1) of the statutes; relating to: bid requirements for public inland lake protection and rehabilitation districts.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a lake protection and rehabilitation district may be created to carry out a program of lake protection and rehabilitation. Under current law, the district must let to the lowest responsible bidder any contract in excess of $2,500 for the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials. This bill increases this threshold to $10,000.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

AB600,1 Section 1. 33.22 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB600,2,2 33.22 (1) Any district organized under this chapter may select a name for the district, sue and be sued, make contracts, accept gifts, purchase, lease, devise or otherwise acquire, hold, maintain or dispose of property, disburse money, contract debt, and do any other acts necessary to carry out a program of lake protection and rehabilitation. All contracts in excess of $2,500 $10,000 for the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials shall be let by the commissioners to the lowest responsible bidder in the manner they prescribe.
