Assembly Bill 433 proposes changes to the publication requirements for legal notices in Wisconsin. The bill mandates that legal notices be published in a sans serif typeface instead of the previously required Arial typeface. Additionally, it introduces a standard line rate for these publications, specifying that the typeface should be 6-point sans serif on a 6-point leading without spacing between lines. The bill also allows for the use of larger sans serif typefaces, up to 12-point, with corresponding adjustments in line rates based on the size of the type used.

Furthermore, the bill repeals obsolete language regarding the newspaper publication of proposed constitutional amendments and other resolutions, specifically removing section 35.35 (1) (a) from the statutes. It renumbers the subsequent section and makes minor amendments to other related statutes, ensuring that the legislative reference bureau can correct clerical errors without altering the enrolled copy. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the requirements for legal notice publications while maintaining clarity and consistency in the process.
