What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, as created in

2011 Wisconsin Act 32

, the homestead tax

credit formula factors (maximum income, maximum property taxes, and income

threshold) are not indexed for inflation after 2010. This bill repeals those provisions

and restores former law. Under the bill, the homestead tax credit formula factors

would be indexed for inflation for 2011 and beyond.

Votes

Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
