2003 - 2004 LEGISLATURE

2003 Senate BILL 560

April 5, 2004 - Introduced by Law Revision Committee. Referred to Committee on Homeland Security, Veterans and Military Affairs and Government Reform.

SB560,1,4 An Act relating to: amending s. 35.18 (1) of the statutes to eliminate the requirement that the revisor print a list of numerical cross-references in the statutes to other parts of the statutes in each biennial issue of the Wisconsin Statutes (Revisor's Revision Bill).

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill is proposed under authority of s. 13.93 (1) (a) and (2) (j). The requirement in s. 35.18 (1) that the revisor print "a list of numerical cross-references in the statutes to other parts of the statutes" in each biennial issue of the Wisconsin Statutes is eliminated as being obsolete and anachronistic in light of the current practice of regularly updating and publishing the table of cross-references in the statutes in electronic formats.

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

SB560, s. 1 Section 1. 35.18 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:

SB560,2,5 35.18 (1) Publication. Biennially the revisor shall prepare and deliver to the department printer's copy for the Wisconsin statutes, which shall contain all the general statutes in force, all important joint resolutions adopted since the last preceding general session, an alphabetical index, a list of numerical cross-references in the statutes to other parts of the statutes, and such other matter as the revisor deems desirable and practicable. The department shall determine how many copies shall be printed.
