What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The resolution requires the Committee on Assembly Organization to

immediately appoint a joint task force on clean and renewable energy, consisting of

an equal number of majority and minority party members, to devise ways to facilitate

the development of clean energy solutions, create jobs while reducing pollution, move

Wisconsin away from fossil fuel-based energy production, and prevent foreign

nations from dominating the clean energy field.

Under the resolution, the task force must deliver its findings to the assembly

before February 1, 2015.

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
