Assistant secretary of state
2015 Wisconsin Act 55 eliminated the position of assistant secretary of state. This bill restores that position. The secretary of state may delegate any duty or power to the assistant secretary of state, except duties and powers the secretary of state performs as a member of the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands.
Under current law, DFI's general program operations are funded from an annual program revenue appropriation. From this appropriation, $150,000 is transferred annually to an appropriation to the secretary of state for general program operations. The bill increases the amount of the transfer to $260,000 annually.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
