The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 8 proposes an amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution that aims to restrict the governor's partial veto authority concerning appropriation bills. Specifically, the amendment would limit the governor to rejecting only entire sections of an enrolled bill that are capable of separate enactment, as well as reducing appropriations within the bill. This change seeks to clarify and expand upon existing restrictions on the governor's veto power, which currently only prohibits the creation of new words or sentences by altering individual letters or combining parts of sentences.

The resolution, introduced by a group of representatives and cosponsored by several senators, has been referred to the Committee on State Affairs for consideration. As a constitutional amendment, it requires approval from two successive legislatures and ratification by the public before it can take effect. The proposed changes are intended to enhance the legislative process by ensuring that the governor's veto powers are more clearly defined and limited.
