AFFECTED BY WISCONSIN ACTS
Enacted by the
1997 WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE
Prepared by Karen Gilfoy, Publications Editor
Legislative Reference Bureau
This listing is compiled from the enrolled bills and joint resolutions passed by the Legislature. The Legislative Reference Bureau makes a reasonable effort to provide a complete and accurate listing, but assumes no responsibility or liability for possible errors or omissions.
The first table is intended to record whole-numbered statute sections affected by 1997 Wisconsin Acts in regular and special sessions. Some whole-numbered statute sections, though last printed in the statutes of 1919, continue in force today.
The second table shows, in the ascending order of the decimal-numbered statute sections affected by 1997 Wisconsin Acts, the changes enacted by the 1997 Legislature in its regular and special sessions. In addition, this table contains references to decimal-numbered statute sections affected in prior legislative sessions which have delayed effective dates beginning with January 1, 1997, and decimal-numbered statute sections affected by Supreme Court Orders effective beginning January 1, 1997.
Changes in nonstatutory session laws resulting from 1997 enactments are shown separately following the table of statute section numbers. A final table shows the constitutional amendments approved by the 1997 Legislature on first consideration for review by the 1999 Legislature, constitutional amendments approved by the 1997 Legislature on 2nd consideration for submission to the electorate, and statewide referendum questions for submission beginning with the 1997 spring election.
