Bill > SB126

This bill modifies the effective dates of certain provisions in 2023 Wisconsin Act 126, which originally addressed campaign and election-related protections and regulations. Specifically, the bill delays the requirement for committees, political parties, and conduits to file campaign finance reports through the Ethics Commission's Campaign Finance Information System (CFIS) from July 1, 2025 to December 1, 2027. All other provisions of the original act, which include protecting election officials' personal information, making it a Class I felony to intentionally harm election officials, providing whistleblower protections for clerks and election officials who report potential election fraud, and prohibiting employment discrimination against those who report election irregularities, will remain effective on the original date of July 1, 2025. The bill essentially makes a narrow adjustment to the implementation timeline for campaign finance reporting while maintaining the rest of the act's substantive provisions as originally planned.
