The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 127 proposes a constitutional amendment that would restrict the governor's partial veto power by prohibiting the creation or increase of any tax or fee through this authority. This amendment is a follow-up to a similar proposal considered by the 2023 legislature, which was approved by a majority in both houses. The current limitations on the governor's partial veto power, as established by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in Bartlett v. Evers, do not explicitly include restrictions on tax or fee alterations, making this amendment a significant addition to the existing constitutional framework.

If approved by the 2025 legislature, the amendment will be submitted to voters for ratification in the November 2026 election. The ballot will pose a question regarding the amendment, asking whether the governor should be prohibited from using the partial veto to create or increase taxes or fees. This resolution reflects ongoing discussions about the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches in Wisconsin.
