Dear Speaker Jensen:

2001 Assembly Bill 49 contains a fiscal note in excess of $100,000. Pursuant to sec. 16.47(2), Stats., I consider this bill an emergency bill. I recommend the bill and I ask that passage of 2001 Assembly Bill 49 be permitted prior to passage of the budget bill.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
