Point of order:
  Representative Prosser rose to the point of order that Assembly Bill 447 [to authorize and direct expenditure of $25,000 from the general fund for payment of a claim against the state made by Robert L. Borum] could not be considered for action at this time under section 20.003 (4) of the Wisconsin Statutes. The speaker took the point of order under advisement.
  [Note:] In January 1986, the state was faced with a revenue shortfall likely to reduce the balance in the treasury below the minimum (1% of biennial GPR appropriations) mandated by s. 20.003 (4), stats.

  1985 WisAct 120 adjusted state expenditures to anticipated revenues. The Borum claim bill was taken up, failed to pass 43 to 54, and reconsideration failed 49 to 50 (A.Jour. 2/13/86, p. 683).
Assembly Journal of February 11, 1986 .......... Page: 663
  Ruling on the point of order:
  Speaker Loftus ruled that the point of order raised by Representative Prosser on Assembly Bill 447 on January 28, 1986, was moot with the enactment of Senate Bill 1, January 1986 Spec. Sess. (1985 Wisconsin Act 120).

  Representative Shabaz rose to the point of order that the assembly should proceed to the next amendment to Assembly Bill 321 instead of proceeding to the next order of business while the point of order on senate amendment 1 is under advisement.
  The speaker ruled that the assembly would proceed to the next amendment in this particular instance without establishing a precedent.
  [Note:] In 1978, A.Rule 89 (1) provided: "While the assembly is under call, business may be transacted as though there were no call except that no further proceedings may be taken with reference to the matter concerning which

  the call was ordered." Speaker Anderson, on 5/10/73 (p. 1320) had "held that 'matter' .... meant the specific question involved and not consideration of the entire bill."

  The issue was clarified in the 1979 rules adoption (A.Res. 7) so that consideration of other specific questions concerning the same proposal may continue while the assembly is under call on the original "specific question":

  "Business may be transacted is if there were no call except that no further action may be taken on the specific question under consideration when the call was ordered."
