Referred to Committee on Assembly Organization.
AB888,1,2
1An Act to create 13.123 (4) of the statutes;
relating to: office expenses
2authorized for members of the legislature.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, a sum sufficient appropriation is provided for the operation of the
senate and assembly. The statutes do not specifically treat the use of the
appropriation for the cost of operating legislative offices.
This bill specifically empowers the joint committee on legislative organization
or the committee on organization of either house of the legislature to provide an
allowance for the office expenses of each member of the legislature, but imposes a
limitation upon the allowance that may be provided for any legislative session of
$10,000 for a representative to the assembly and $51,000 for a senator.
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:
AB888, s. 1
