According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "the effective date of certain provisions contained in 2023 Wisconsin Act 126".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill modifies the effective date of certain provisions in the 2023 Wisconsin Act 126, postponing the requirement for committees, political parties, and conduits to register with and submit campaign finance reports to the Ethics Commission through its campaign finance information system from July 1, 2025, to Dec. 1, 2027. The other sections of Act 126, which include measures on personal information privacy for election officials, penalties for causing harm to these officials, whistleblower protections, and prohibitions against employment discrimination for reporting election irregularities, will still take effect on July 1, 2025.
The bill was co-authored by Senator Cory Tomczyk (Republican-29th District), Representative Lindee Rae Brill (Republican-27th District), Representative Jeffrey Mursau (Republican-36th District), Representative Jerry L. O'Connor (Republican-60th District), and Representative David Steffen (Republican-4th District). It was co-sponsored by Senator Howard L. Marklein (Republican-17th District), Senator Steve L. Nass (Republican-11th District), and Senator Mark Spreitzer (Democrat-15th District), along with one other co-sponsor.
Daniel Knodl has co-authored or authored another 59 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.
Knodi, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 24th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Paul Melotik.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
