Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the University of Wisconsin System, in submitting information to the governor for the purposes of the 2025-27 biennial budget, to submit a plan for conducting a wakeboat study and request funding for conducting the wakeboat study in the 2025-27 fiscal biennium. The bill requires the study to be planned to measure wave energy from representative wakeboats engaged in wake surfing and wake boarding activities in typical wake-enhanced mode and at various distances, study the impact of enhanced wakes on lake bottoms, fish nesting, aquatic vegetation, and sediment disruption, and assess the wave energy of waves generated by winds and storms compared to the energy of waves generated by enhanced wakes.
