According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "statements of scope for administrative rules. (FE)".
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 processes for promulgating administrative rules in Wisconsin by amending statutes related to statements of scope. It limits government agencies to issue either one permanent or one emergency rule per statement of scope. Agencies must clarify whether their statement of scope pertains to an emergency or a permanent rule; they cannot issue both types from a single statement and must prepare separate statements if intending to pursue both. The bill also sets expiration periods—statements of scope for proposed emergency rules expire after six months, while those for permanent rules retain the current 30-month expiration period. Once expired, the development of rules based on that statement is prohibited. This legislation applies first to statements published in the Wisconsin Administrative Register as of its effective date.
The bill was co-authored by Senator Rob Hutton (Republican-5th District), Representative David Armstrong (Republican-67th District), Representative Elijah R. Behnke (Republican-6th District), Representative Calvin T. Callahan (Republican-35th District), Representative Alex A. Dallman (Republican-39th District). It was co-sponsored by Senator Julian Bradley (Republican-28th District), Senator Rachael Cabral-Guevara (Republican-19th District), and Senator Dan Feyen (Republican-20th District), along 25 other co-sponsors.
Amanda M. Nedweski has co-authored or authored another 39 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.
Nedweski graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in 1998 with a BA.
Nedweski, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 32nd Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Tyler August.
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.
