1 AN ACT to repeal 6.36 (6); and to create 6.36 (6m) of the statutes; relating to:
2 fees for obtaining the official voter registration list.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Elections Commission establishes a fee, by rule, for
obtaining a copy of the official voter registration list. The fee amount is an amount
estimated to cover both the cost of reproduction and the cost of maintaining the list
at the state and local level.
Under this bill, a person may obtain a copy of the official voter registration list
for Wisconsin, or any portion of the list, electronically by paying a fee of $250 or less
as established by the the Elections Commission. The bill authorizes the commission
to charge an additional fee for providing a copy of the list in physical form in order
to cover the cost of reproduction and postage, if any.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
3 SECTION 1. 6.36 (6) of the statutes is repealed.
4 SECTION 2. 6.36 (6m) of the statutes is created to read:
