This ordinance increases the membership of the Milwaukee commission on domestic violence and sexual assault from 21 members to 31 members, beginning June 15, 2000. The members of the new commission represent state and local government and law enforcement, public schools, health care providers, underserved communities (African-American, Hispanic, Native American and Southeast Asian), victim advocates and assault and abuse service providers. Eleven members are appointed by the president of the common council and 10 members are appointed by the mayor, all from names recommended by the commission's executive committee.

Ten additional commission members are directly appointed by the common council president, mayor, police chief, MPS superintendent, district attorney and the director of the bureau of Milwaukee child welfare in the Wisconsin department of health and family services. All other current provisions for the commission, including its purpose, terms of its members, responsibilities and duties, remain unchanged.
