AB517,1,2
1An Act relating to: highway maps published by the Department of
2Transportation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) must publish
highway service maps showing the state trunk highway system. DOT determines
the price at which these highway service maps are sold. DOT must also publish, once
every two years, folded highway maps for free distribution to the public. Upon their
publication, DOT must distribute for free 50 highway service maps and 500 folded
highway maps to each officer and member of the legislature. These officers and
members of the legislature may request additional highway service maps at the
regularly established price and additional folded highway maps for free. DOT must
also distribute to the Legislative Reference Bureau 300 folded highway maps.
This bill prohibits DOT from printing these highway service maps and folded
highway maps during the 2009-11 fiscal biennium, but does not prohibit DOT from
distributing any inventory of highway service maps and folded highway maps
printed before the 2009-11 fiscal biennium.
For further information see the state 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:
