1997 - 1998 LEGISLATURE
April 3, 1997 - Introduced by Representatives Baumgart and Nass. Referred to
Committee on Assembly Organization.
AB246,1,2 1An Act to create 13.123 (4) of the statutes; relating to: office expenses and
2postage stamps utilized by members of the legislature.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, a sum sufficient appropriation is provided for the operation of the
senate and assembly. The statutes do not specifically treat the use of that money for
the cost of operating legislative offices.
This bill specifically empowers the joint committee on legislative organization
or the committee on organization of either house of the legislature to provide an
allowance for the office expenses of each member of the legislature, but stipulates
that if any part of the allowance is used to purchase postage stamps, each stamp must
be perforated in a design forming the letters "WIS".
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:
AB246, s. 1 3Section 1. 13.123 (4) of the statutes is created to read:
AB246,2,44 13.123 (4) Office expenses; postage stamps. The joint committee on legislative
5organization or the committee on organization of either house of the legislature may

1provide an allowance for each member of the legislature to utilize for office expenses.
2If any part of the allowance is used to purchase postage stamps, the chief clerk of the
3house in which the stamps are purchased shall ensure that each stamp is perforated
4in a design forming the letters "WIS".
