AB878: Bill Text

Note: The other subsections in s. 341.14 do not have titles.

AB878,61 Section 61. 343.301 (3) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB878,16,12 343.301 (3) (b) If the court finds that the person who is subject to an order under sub. (1g) has a household income that is at or below 150 percent of the nonfarm federal poverty line for the continental United States, as defined by the federal department of labor under in 42 USC 9902 (2), the court shall limit the person's liability under par. (a) to one-half of the cost of equipping each motor vehicle with an ignition interlock device and one-half of the cost per day per vehicle of maintaining the ignition interlock device.

Note: Removes reference to the U.S. Department of Labor. Since the enactment of P.L. 97-35 in 1981, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, the federal poverty line has been defined at 42 USC 9902 (2). 42 USC 9902 (2) establishes a process for determining the federal poverty line that does not involve any action by the U.S. Department of Labor.

AB878,62 Section 62. 345.05 (1) (c) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB878,16,17 345.05 (1) (c) “Municipality" means any county, city, village, town, school district as enumerated in s. 67.01 (5), sewer district, drainage district, commission formed by a contract under s. 66.0301 (2), and, without restriction because of failure of enumeration, any other political subdivision of the state.

Note: Strikes unnecessary phrase. 1985 Wis. Act 225 removed the enumeration of types of school districts in s. 67.01 (5), making the phrase “as enumerated in s. 67.01 (5)” unnecessary.

AB878,63 Section 63. 440.032 (1) (d) of the statutes is repealed.

Note: Removes extraneous definition. Section 440.032 (1) (d) provides a definition of “Wisconsin interpreting and transliterating assessment” in s. 440.032, but that term does not otherwise appear in s. 440.032.

AB878,64 Section 64. 440.032 (3m) of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin Act 17, is amended to read:

AB878,17,6 440.032 (3m) Exam administration in Wisconsin. The department of health services shall administer in this state the performance examinations of the Board for Evaluation of Interpreters or its successor, unless the department of safety and professional services approves another administrator of the examinations.

Note: Inserts the full name of the intended department to avoid ambiguity.

AB878,65 Section 65. 632.866 (3) (b) (intro.) of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin Act 12, is amended to read:

AB878,17,13 632.866 (3) (b) (intro.) An insurer, pharmacy benefit manager, or utilization review organization shall grant an exception to the step therapy protocol if the prescribing provider submits complete, clinically relevant written documentation supporting a step therapy protocol exception request and any of the following are satisfied:

Note: Inserts missing word. The term “step therapy protocol” is defined in s. 632.866 (1) (e). “Protocol” is inserted after “step therapy” so that the defined term is used consistently in the section.

AB878,66 Section 66. 632.866 (3) (f) of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin Act 12, is amended to read:

AB878,18,8 632.866 (3) (f) An insurer, pharmacy benefit manager, or utilization review organization shall grant or deny a request for any exception to the step therapy protocol within 3 business days of receipt of the complete, clinically relevant written documentation required under par. (b) to support a step therapy protocol exception request under par. (b) or the receipt of a request to appeal a previous decision that includes the complete, clinically relevant written documentation supporting a step therapy protocol exception request. In exigent circumstances, an insurer, pharmacy benefit manager, or utilization review organization shall grant or deny a request for an exception to the step therapy protocol by the end of the next business day after receipt of the complete, clinically relevant written documentation supporting a step therapy protocol exception request under par. (b). If the insurer, pharmacy benefit manager, or utilization review organization does not grant or deny a request or an appeal under the time specified under this paragraph, the exception is considered granted.

Note: Inserts missing word in three locations. The term “step therapy protocol” is defined in s. 632.866 (1) (e). “Protocol” is inserted after “step therapy” so that the defined term is used consistently in the section.

AB878,67 Section 67. 938.31 (5) (title) of the statutes is created to read:

AB878,18,10 938.31 (5) (title) Indian juveniles.

Note: The other subsections in s. 938.31 have titles.

AB878,68 Section 68 . 990.01 (21m) of the statutes, as affected by 2019 Wisconsin Act 50, is amended to read:

AB878,18,14 990.01 (21m) Motorcycle. “Motorcycle" is a motor vehicle as defined has the meaning given in s. 340.01 (32).

Note: Section 340.01 (32) defines the term “motorcycle,” not “motor vehicle.” This Section clarifies that the term “motorcycle” in s. 990.01 (21m), as renumbered from s. 990.01 (43m) by 2019 Wis. Act 50, eff. 5-1-20, has the same meaning as in s. 340.01 (32).

Note: Section 938.34 (4m) (intro.) was also affected by 2019 Wis. Act 8.

AB878,70 Section 70. 2019 Wisconsin Act 8, section 55 is amended by replacing “or 938.357 (3) or (4)” with “or 938.357 (3) or (4)”.

Note: The “(3) or” was erroneously underscored. The underscored language was current law. No change was intended.

AB878,71 Section 71 . 2019 Wisconsin Act 8, section 71 is amended by replacing “301.01 (1n) (by Section 35), 301.20, 938.02 (4) (by Section 50), 938.34 (2) (a) (by Section 57) and (b) (by Section 59) and (4m) (intro.)

Note: “301.03 (10) (d) (by Section 38)” and “938.357 (4) (am) (by Section 70)” were removed from 2017 Wis. Act 185, section 112 (1), by 2019 Wis. Act 8, section 71, without being stricken. The change was intended.

AB878,72 Section 72 . 2019 Wisconsin Act 9, section 9437 (5f) is amended by replacing “s. 78.12 (4) (a) 2., 3., and 4. and (5)” with “s. 78.12 (4) (a) 2. and 3.”.
