1995 Wisconsin Act 225

Note: The amendments of s. 48.396 (2) (e), by this bill, are made to clarify that the amendment of s. 48.396 (2) (e) by 1995 Wis. Act 27 takes effect on 7-1-96. The first amendment returns the provision to its pre-Act 27 status. The second amendment recreates the amendment made by Act 27, effective 7-1-96.

Act 27 to implement this change, but no provision was made to provide that the effective date for this amendment be 7-1-96. Section 9426 (19t) provided that the repeal and recreation of s. 48.396 (2) (e) was to take effect on 7-1-96 but there is no repeal and recreation of s. 48.396 (2) (e) by Act 27.
