Assembly Bill 14 aims to formally repeal an emergency rule established by the Wisconsin Elections Commission that was enacted on July 1, 2024. This emergency rule included provisions regarding the requirements and procedures for filing a declaration of candidacy for various offices, the grounds for challenging such declarations, and the processes for hearing and deciding these challenges. The bill is introduced in accordance with statutory requirements following the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules' decision to suspend this emergency rule on July 22, 2024.

The specific legal language being inserted into the statutes is the creation of section 5.051, which explicitly states the repeal of the emergency rule that created sections EL 2.06 and 2.08 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, concerning challenge procedures for declarations of candidacy. This legislative action reflects the state's intent to eliminate the previously established emergency regulations related to candidacy challenges.
