AI Summary
This bill creates a new section of Wisconsin statutes, 17.03 (10m), to clarify what happens when an appointive state office with a fixed term expires. An "appointive state office" is defined as any position in state government, such as within a department, agency, board, commission, or authority, that is filled by appointment rather than election, excluding positions within the legislature and the courts. This new provision will apply to state officers appointed on or after January 1, 2027.
