What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill allows certain proposed rules or changes to an existing rule to be placed on an Internet site. Under current law, when the Wisconsin Supreme Court (court) wishes to consider whether to promulgate a new rule or change an existing rule regulating pleading, practice, or procedure, it holds a hearing on the new rule or the change.
Current law requires the court to publish notice of the hearing in a newspaper for three consecutive weeks prior to, and in the publication of the State Bar of Wisconsin (Bar) not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days before, the date of hearing. Current law requires the court to include in its notice the full text of the proposed rule or the change to an existing rule.
