Relating to: residency requirements for certain employees of a local governmental unit. (FE)

This bill modifies Wisconsin statutes to allow local governments to set residency requirements for specific administrative and leadership roles within their departments. It permits police, fire, and protective services departments to require their chiefs to live within the jurisdiction, while cities, villages, and certain counties can impose similar requirements on their administrators. Additionally, the bill enables cities and villages that have or are selecting a city manager to require that manager to reside locally. The changes apply only to individuals hired on or after the effective date of the legislation, leaving existing employees unaffected.
