Committee on Assembly Organization.
AR5,1,2
1To amend assembly rule 32 (1) (a) and assembly rule 39 (1);
relating to: the
2prohibition against memorializing the federal government.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current assembly rules prohibit the offering of any assembly joint resolution
or resolution memorializing Congress or any branch or officer of the federal
government, prohibit the assembly from receiving a senate joint resolution
memorializing Congress or any branch or officer of the federal government, and
require that each such senate joint resolution be transmitted back to the senate
immediately after the message referring to the senate joint resolution is read.
This resolution permits any such resolution to be offered or considered in the
assembly if the resolution memorializes Congress or any branch or officer of the
federal government not to reduce the size of the Wisconsin national guard.
