Assembly Bill 15 aims to formally repeal an emergency rule established by the Wisconsin Elections Commission that was effective from July 1, 2024. This emergency rule outlined the requirements and procedures for filing nomination papers, the grounds for challenging these papers, and the processes for filing officers to hear and decide on such challenges. The bill is introduced in accordance with the statutory requirement to support the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules' decision to suspend this emergency rule on July 22, 2024.

The bill creates a new section, 5.051, in the statutes, which specifically states the repeal of the emergency rule that created sections EL 2.05 and 2.07 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, concerning challenge procedures for nomination papers. This legislative action reflects the state's intent to eliminate the previously established emergency procedures related to nomination challenges.
