SB360,1,2
1An Act relating to: sale of a parcel of land located in Marinette County to the
2Wied Trust.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sell to the
Wied Trust of 1996 for $1 a parcel of land owned by the state upon which the Wied
family had placed a house and other structures. The bill exempts the sale from the
requirement that a sale of state-owned land under the jurisdiction of DNR may not
occur unless the Natural Resources Board determines that the land is no longer
necessary for conservation purposes and that the governor approve the sale.
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:
