AB 684 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: eliminating and modifying certain provisions enacted under 2023 Act 12 regarding the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County. (FE)

AB 684 repeals and revises specific laws related to Milwaukee's fire and police department governance and a tax provision for rail projects, as originally enacted under 2023 Act 12. It modifies the appointment rules for the fire and police board (requiring political balance and 45-day appointment deadlines), mandates an annual policy review by the board, and requires a two-thirds city council vote to change department policies. The bill also clarifies that tax incentives for rail projects do not apply to Milwaukee's Lakefront Line route. These changes directly affect Milwaukee's fire and police departments, the city council, and the board of fire and police commissioners.
