Bill Summary
This bill is introduced as required by s. 227.26 (2) (j), stats., in support of the action of the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules in suspending emergency rule 2408 of the Wisconsin Elections Commission on July 22, 2024. The suspended emergency rule 1) described requirements and procedures for filing a declaration of candidacy for a local, state, or federal office (declaration of candidacy), 2) identified grounds for bringing challenges to a declaration of candidacy, and 3) described the procedures by which the commission or filing officer would hear and decide these complaints for such challenges and the ability of an individual to seek review of the commission[s or filing officer[s decision on the complaint.
AI Summary
This bill formally repeals an emergency rule (number 2408) issued by the Wisconsin Elections Commission that went into effect on July 1, 2024. The emergency rule previously established specific procedures and requirements related to filing declarations of candidacy for local, state, and federal offices, including the grounds for challenging such declarations and the processes for hearing and deciding those challenges. By suspending this rule, the bill effectively eliminates the previously established administrative protocols for candidate declaration challenges. The bill is being introduced in accordance with statutory requirements and follows a review by the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules, which suspended the emergency rule on July 22, 2024. The legislative action appears to be a technical measure to nullify the specific administrative rule that had been previously implemented by the Elections Commission regarding candidate declaration procedures.
