What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the administrator of the Elections Commission is required

to enter into a membership agreement with the Electronic Registration Information

Center (ERIC) to assist the commission in maintaining Wisconsin's official voter

registration list.

This bill terminates Wisconsin's membership agreement with ERIC and directs

the administrator of the Elections Commission to undertake all actions necessary

and proper to effect that termination. The bill also expressly prohibits the

commission and any other state agency from entering into a membership agreement

with ERIC.
