2015 - 2016 LEGISLATURE

2015 Senate JOINT RESOLUTION 85

January 22, 2016 - Introduced by Senators L. Taylor, Erpenbach, C. Larson, Risser and Vinehout, cosponsored by Representatives C. Taylor, Hintz, Barnes, Berceau, Considine, Goyke, Jorgensen, Kolste, Mason, Ohnstad, Pope, Shankland, Sinicki, Spreitzer and Subeck. Referred to Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety.

SJR85,1,2 To repeal joint rule 41 (2) (b); and to renumber joint rule 41 (2) (a); relating to: fiscal estimate requirements for bills containing penalty provisions.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current joint rules provide that bills containing penalty provisions are exempt from any fiscal estimate requirements unless the bills contain provisions other than penalty provisions that would make them subject to fiscal estimate requirements. This joint resolution eliminates that provision.

SJR85,1,3 Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That:

SJR85,1 Section 1. Joint rule 41 (2) (a) is renumbered joint rule 41 (2).

SJR85,2 Section 2. Joint rule 41 (2) (b) is repealed.

SJR85,1,6 (End)
