The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 124 proposes a constitutional amendment to create Section 35 of Article IV, which mandates legislative approval for the expenditure or commitment of bond revenue specifically allocated for conservation and nature-based outdoor recreation in Wisconsin. This resolution follows a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling in Evers v. Marklein, which deemed certain laws requiring Joint Committee on Finance approval for expenditures under the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship Program unconstitutional due to separation of powers concerns.

Under the proposed amendment, no public debt revenue can be obligated or expended for conservation purposes without prior legislative approval, particularly if the amount exceeds a threshold established by law. The resolution outlines that this amendment must be adopted by two successive legislatures and ratified by the public to take effect. Additionally, it stipulates that the proposed amendment will be published for three months before being presented to voters at the next general election.
