Senate Bill 440 proposes changes to the publication requirements for certain legal notices in Wisconsin. The bill amends existing statutes to replace the specific requirement for legal notices to be published in Arial typeface with a broader requirement for a sans serif typeface. Additionally, it repeals obsolete language related to the newspaper publication of proposed constitutional amendments and other resolutions. The bill also renumbers a section of the statutes and makes minor corrections to clerical errors in the enrollment process.

Key amendments include the requirement for legal notices to be in a sans serif typeface, rather than specifically Arial, and the establishment of a standard line rate for publications. The bill clarifies that adjustments in fees will be made for nonstandard line lengths and that the Department of Administration will certify these adjustments. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the legal notice publication process while ensuring clarity and consistency in the typeface used.
