AB 27

This bill modifies the Uniform Unsworn Foreign Declarations Act that

Wisconsin has adopted to adopt the Uniform Unsworn Declarations Act in its place.

Under current law, if a declarant who is outside of the jurisdiction of the United

States makes a declaration in a signed record that is not given under oath (unsworn

declaration) and that meets the statutory criteria, the unsworn declaration may be

used in place of a sworn declaration under certain circumstances. The bill modifies

current law by removing the requirement that a declarant be outside of the

jurisdiction of the United States to make an unsworn declaration, and in so doing

adopts the uniform act known as the Uniform Unsworn Declarations Act.
