AB110,1,3
1An Act to amend 11.33 (1) (b) of the statutes;
relating to: use of public funds
2by certain state and local officials for production or distribution of certain
3materials.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, no person who is elected to state or local office and who becomes a
candidate for national, state or local office may use public funds for the cost of
materials or distribution of 50 or more pieces of substantially identical material after
the first day for circulation of nomination papers, or if the person is not nominated
by nomination papers, after becoming nominated. The prohibition applies until after
the date of the election at which the person's name appears on the ballot unless the
person is a candidate for renomination at a primary election and is not nominated,
in which case the prohibition applies until after the date of the primary election.
This bill provides that, if a person is elected to succeed himself or herself, this
prohibition applies until after the date of the election at which the person is
reelected. If a person is not elected to succeed himself or herself, the bill provides that
the prohibition applies until the date on which the person ceases to hold office.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
