MADISON – State Representative Dave Murphy (R-Greenville) will introduce legislation this week that will give Wisconsinites more access to their own property.
The bill, which is currently out for co-sponsorship through August 16, limits the Department of Transportation’s authority to apply setback restrictions from roadways. Specifically, it changes the setback area from 100 feet to 50 feet.
“This bill will protect property owners’ interest in the free use of their property,” said Murphy.
“You’ll be able to use more of the land you already pay property taxes on,” Murphy continued.
“With the stroke of his pen, Governor Evers can sign this bill and create more wealth in this state by giving property owners more use of their own land.”
After the co-sponsorship period ends on August 16, Murphy will submit his bill to the Assembly Chief Clerk for official introduction.
A copy of the bill draft accompanies this release.
