AJR 36: Relating to: the right of the people to a clean, safe, and healthy natural environment and to its preservation (first consideration).

Assembly Joint Resolution 36 (AJR 36) proposes to amend the state constitution to establish a fundamental right for all people, including future generations, to a clean, safe, and healthy natural environment. This right would encompass clean water, air, healthy soils, self-sustaining ecosystems, and a safe climate. The bill specifies that these rights are self-executing, cannot be infringed, and would be subject to strict legal review. It also designates the state as a trustee responsible for protecting Wisconsin's natural resources for its citizens. As a "first consideration" bill, it represents the initial step in a multi-stage process to potentially alter the state constitution.

SJR 38: Relating to: an advisory referendum on an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Senate Joint Resolution 38 proposes an advisory referendum for Wisconsin voters during the November 2026 general election. The referendum asks voters if they support a U.S. Constitutional amendment to address the Citizens United decision. This proposed amendment would state that only human beings are endowed with constitutional rights, not corporations or other artificial entities. It would also declare that money is not speech, allowing for limits on political contributions and spending. The results of this vote would be advisory, intended to guide Wisconsin's congressional delegation and state legislature on supporting and ratifying such an amendment.

SB 63: Relating to: ratification of the Driver License Compact. (FE)

Senate Bill 63 proposes to enact the Driver License Compact into state law. This compact aims to improve highway safety by promoting compliance with motor vehicle laws across participating states. It requires states to share information about convictions for traffic offenses, allowing a driver's home state to give the same effect to certain serious out-of-state violations (like OWI or vehicular manslaughter) as if they occurred locally. The bill also prevents individuals from obtaining a new license in a different compact state while their license is suspended or revoked in another.

SB 149: Relating to: requiring the legislature to convene an extraordinary session if an executive order of the president of the United States freezes federal aid to the state.

This bill, SB 149, requires the state legislature to convene an extraordinary session if a U.S. President issues an executive order that freezes federal aid previously authorized for the state. During this session, a bill would be drafted to estimate the amounts of federal aid lost by state agencies, eligible local governmental units (like school districts), and eligible nonprofit organizations. It would then provide payments from the state's budget stabilization fund to these entities to offset the estimated losses, prioritizing essential services. The bill also includes provisions for reimbursing the budget stabilization fund if the state later receives the frozen federal aid.

SB 9: Relating to: special registration plates with white lettering on a black background. (FE)

SB 9 creates a new special vehicle registration plate option in Wisconsin featuring a black background with white lettering displaying "Wisconsin" and the vehicle's registration number. It requires a voluntary $25 fee for issuance or renewal (with $50 for biennial plates in the first year), after which the Department of Transportation retains up to $23,700 for initial production costs, depositing any remaining funds into the transportation fund. This plate design is specifically for Wisconsin residents who choose to purchase it, distinct from existing military, sports, or university plate programs. The bill does not change existing plate categories but adds this new visual option with a dedicated fee structure.
