Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This revisor's correction bill is explained in the Notes provided by the revisor of statutes bureau in the body of the bill.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

AB378, s. 1 Section 1. 5.02 (24) of the statutes, as affected by 1995 Wisconsin Act 219, is amended to read:

AB378,2,2 5.02 (24) "State superintendent" means the state superintendent of public instruction.

Note: 1995 Wis. Act 27, section 9145 (1), unintentionally changed the reference to the "state superintendent of public instruction" in this provision to "secretary of education". 1995 Wis. Act 219 was intended to return this provision to its pre-Act 27 status but only "state superintendent" was reinserted.

AB378, s. 2 Section 2. The amendment of 5.58 (2) (a) of the statutes by 1995 Wisconsin Act 201 is not repealed by 1995 Wisconsin Act 219. Both amendments stand.

Note: There is no conflict of substance.

AB378, s. 3 Section 3. 6.24 (4) (b) of the statutes, as created by 1995 Wisconsin Act 313, is renumbered 6.24 (4) (c).

Note: 1995 Wis. Act 313 divided s. 6.24 (4) (a) into pars. (a) and (c) and created a new par. (b). Section 6.24 (4) already contained a par. (b).

AB378, s. 4 Section 4. 6.24 (4) (c) of the statutes, as affected by 1995 Wisconsin Act 313, is renumbered 6.24 (4) (d).

Note: See the note to the previous section of this bill.

AB378, s. 5 Section 5. 8.40 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB378,2,15 8.40 (1) In addition to any other requirements provided by law, each separate sheet of each petition for an election, including a referendum, shall have on the face at the top in boldface print the words word "PETITION". Each signer of such a petition shall affix his or her signature to the petition, accompanied by his or her municipality of residence for voting purposes, the street and number, if any, on which the signer resides, and the date of signing.

Note: Inserts correct word.

AB378, s. 6 Section 6. 13.06 of the statutes is amended to read:

AB378,3,8 13.06 Executive favor. Any member of the legislature who gives, offers or promises to give his or her vote or influence in favor of or against any measure or proposition pending or proposed to be introduced in the legislature, or that has already been passed by either house of the legislature, in consideration of or on condition that the governor approve, disapprove, veto or sign, or agree to approve, disapprove, veto or sign, any other measure or proposition pending or proposed to be introduced in the legislature or that has already been passed by the legislature, or either house thereof, or in consideration or upon condition that the governor nominate for appointment or appoint or remove any person to or from any office or position under the laws of this or her state, may be fined not less than $500 nor more than $1,000 or imprisoned not less than one year nor more than 2 years or both.

Note: Corrects error in transcribing 1991 Wis. Act 316.

AB378, s. 7 Section 7. 13.101 (6) (a) of the statutes, as affected by 1995 Wisconsin Act 27, is amended to read:

AB378,4,5 13.101 (6) (a) As an emergency measure necessitated by decreased state revenues and to prevent the necessity for a state tax on general property, the committee may reduce any appropriation made to any board, commission, department, the university of Wisconsin system or to any other state agency or activity by such amount as it deems feasible, not exceeding 25% of the appropriations, except appropriations made by ss. 20.255 (2) (ac), (bc), (bh), (bm), (cg) and (cr), 20.395 (1), (2) (cq), (eq) to (ex) and (gq) to (gx), (3), (4) (aq) to (ax) and (6) (aq) and (ar), 20.435 (1) (c), (6) (a) and (7) (da) and 20.445 (3) (a) and (d) or for forestry purposes under s. 20.370 (1), or any other moneys distributed to any county, city, village, town or school district. Appropriations of receipts and of a sum sufficient shall for the purposes of this section be regarded as equivalent to the amounts expended under such appropriations in the prior fiscal year which ended June 30. All functions of said state agencies shall be continued in an efficient manner, but because of the uncertainties of the existing situation no public funds should be expended or obligations incurred unless there shall be adequate revenues to meet the expenditures therefor. For such reason the committee may make reductions of such appropriations as in its judgment will secure sound financial operations of the administration for said state agencies and at the same time interfere least with their services and activities.

Note: 1995 Wis. Act 27 repealed s. 20.435 (1) (c) effective 8-1-96.

AB378, s. 8 Section 8. 13.26 (1) (d) of the statutes is amended to read:
