SB307,1,2
1An Act to amend 62.50 (18) of the statutes;
relating to: payment of a 1st class
2city police officer's salary after discharge.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, no member of the police force of a first class city (presently
only Milwaukee) may be suspended or discharged without pay or benefits until the
matter that is the subject of the suspension or discharge is disposed of by the board
of fire and police commissioners or the time for an appeal passes without an appeal
being made.
This bill removes the current law's applicability to police officers who are
discharged.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
