Point of order:
Representative Ulichny rose to the point of order that assembly amendment 9 to assembly substitute amendment 2 to Assembly Bill 600 [relating to requiring the use of child restraint systems in motor vehicles, granting rule-making authority and providing a penalty] was not germane under Assembly Rule 54.
[Note:] A.Sub.2 required the use of child safety restraint systems for children under 4 years old. A.Amdt.9 permitted deducting the purchase price of such devices from any state income tax due. While the approach avoided the "tax exemption" question it would, nevertheless, have given the bill a significant fiscal effect.
A.Rule 54 (3) (a) declares not germane "one individual proposition amending another individual proposition".
The chair [Rep. Kirby] ruled the point of order well taken.

At the same time, s. 13.52 (6), stats., prevented the assembly from taking further action:
.... "such proposal shall not be considered further by either house until the joint survey committee on tax exemptions has submitted a report, in writing, setting forth an opinion on the legality of the proposal, the fiscal
effect upon the state and its subdivisions and its desirability as a matter of public policy".
