Note: Prior to the repeal and recreation of s. 803.01 by Supreme Court Order, 67 Wis. 2d 585, 638 (1975), an introductory provision supplied a verb for what became s. 803.01 (3) (b) 2. and 3. after the repeal and recreation. The repeal and recreation left subds. 2. and 3. without a verb, which is restored by this bill. This change is made at the request of the Supreme Court.
