What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
