to repeal and recreate 20.370 (2) (hq);

9chapter 281, chapter 283, chapter 285, chapter 289, chapter 291, chapter 292,
10chapter 293, chapter 295 and chapter 299 of the statutes; and
to affect 1995
11Wisconsin Act 27, section
9442 (7t);
relating to: renumbering and reorganizing
12the environmental statutes.
In discussing and responding to its charge, the special committee determined that
ch. 144 is not in need of extensive substantive revision. Although portions of ch. 144 are
not well-organized, there is very little in ch. 144 that is not currently viable and that is
not written so as to effectively accomplish the legislature's intent. The special committee
does not believe that its charge from the joint legislative council is to rewrite substantive
environmental policy in this legislation, but rather to make ch. 144 a more effective tool
for accomplishing the environmental regulatory policies currently expressed in that
chapter. Therefore, the special committee recommends, in this bill, the reorganization
of ch. 144, which the special committee believes will make these statutes significantly
more readable.
This bill separates ch. 144 into 8 newly created chapters of the statutes and
reorganizes the material incorporated into each of the newly created chapters as
necessary. In order to have sufficient consecutive chapter numbers to keep the
environmental regulatory statutes together in a group, it is necessary to move the
environmental regulatory statutes to a location other than current ch. 144.
The special committee believes that the rationale for the reorganization of ch. 144
applies equally to the other environmental regulatory statutes, which include chs. 147
(pollution discharge elimination), 159 (recycling) and 162 (pure drinking water) and s.
146.20 (septage disposal). Although not directed to consider these provisions by the joint
legislative council, the special committee believes that these statutes should also be
reorganized as part of the special committee's recommendation and they are, therefore,
included in this bill.
The special committee explicitly intends that this bill will make no substantive
changes in the environmental regulatory statutes. In a number of instances, the special
committee found it necessary to make judgments where an existing cross-reference could
not be simply renumbered into the new numbering scheme, either because of the way the
bill reorganizes the statutes or because the current cross-reference is imprecise. In each
instance where a cross-reference had to be modified rather than simply renumbered, the
special committee has taken care to avoid changing the effect of the current statutes and,
in many cases, has included a Note explaining its rationale for the modification. If a
question arises about the effect of any modification, the special committee intends that
the amendments in this bill be construed to have the same effect as the prior statutes.
For the convenience of the reader, a table of contents listing all section numbers of
the reorganized chapters is included in this Prefatory note. Also, a finding aid is
included at the end of this bill, which matches the current statute numbers with the new
statute numbers assigned by this bill.
