The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 8 proposes an amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution that would limit the governor's partial veto authority over appropriation bills. Specifically, it seeks to restrict the governor to only rejecting entire sections of an enrolled bill that are capable of separate enactment and to reducing appropriations within the bill. This amendment aims 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 the text of the bill.

The resolution, introduced by a group of representatives and cosponsored by several senators, is intended to be considered by the legislature and, if approved, would require ratification by the public in a subsequent election. The proposed changes are a response to previous court rulings that have further defined the limits of the governor's veto power, and they aim to ensure a more structured approach to how appropriation bills can be modified by the executive branch.
