2015 Wis. Act 55 restructured the Office of State
Employment Relations into a newly created Division of Personnel Management in the
Department of Administration and transferred functions from the director of OSER to the
administrator of the new division. That act changed other references in the statutes from
“the director of the office of state employment relations” to “the administrator of the
division of personnel management in the department of administration,” but the act's
repeal and recreation of s. 15.165 (2), which included other changes, was partially vetoed.
AB1022,4

4. 16.997 (2) (e) of the statutes is repealed.
Note: Repeals paragraph containing an obsolete cross-reference. Section 16.997
(2) (e) requires rules promulgated by the Department of Administration establishing an
educational telecommunications access program to include the protections specified in s.

2021 Wis. Act 58 created s. 20.465 (3) (hm) and a corresponding entry in the schedule
under ch. 20.005 (3), but omitted the phrase “the amounts in the schedule” from s. 20.465

2019 Wis.
Act 110 but rendered without effect by the treatment of s. 20.507 (1) (h) by
2019 Wis. Act
9.
Note: There is no conflict of substance.

2015 Wis. Act 55 restructured the Office of State
Employment Relations into a newly created Division of Personnel Management in the
Department of Administration and transferred functions from the director of OSER to the
administrator of the new division. That act changed other references in the statutes from
“the director of the office of state employment relations” to “the administrator of the
division of personnel management in the department of administration,” but failed to
make this change in s. 40.05 (4) (ah) 3. and 4.

66.1014 (1) (c).

10rescinding the contract, if the administrator reasonably concludes the person is not
11acting in accordance with such statutes, rules, and guidance documents.

7the department may require to be
abandoned
filled and sealed under s. NR 812.26
8(2) (4) (b), Wis. Adm. Code.
Note: Changes incorrect term and cross-references. Section NR 812.26, Wis.

provision requiring filling and sealing was moved to s. NR 812.26 (4) (a) by CR 18-095.

287.17
(10) (a)
Internet site; manufacturers. The department shall maintain

nonschool 20non-covered-school uses. The department shall also include on the Internet site the
21contact information provided by manufacturers under sub. (3) (a) 2.

AB1022,9,53
302.384
(1m) In this section, “health care professional" means a person
4licensed, certified, or registered under ch. 441, 448, or 455
or a person who holds a
5compact privilege under subch. X of ch. 448.
Note: Adds language intended under
2019 Wis. Act 100.
2019 Wis. Act 100 added
physical therapists who hold a compact privilege under what is now subch. X of ch. 448
(the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact, formerly subch. IX of ch. 448) to numerous
parts of the statutes that referred to physical therapists licensed under ch. 448, but did
not take cognizance of
2019 Wis. Act 90.
2019 Wis. Act 90 changed the definition of
“health care professional” under s. 302.384 in a manner that, when taken together with
Act 100, unintentionally excluded physical therapists who hold a compact privilege from
the definition of “health care professional.”
Note: There is no conflict of substance.
AB1022,9,19

14the marriage license itself, or the incompetency of the witnesses to such marriage;
15or
because the marriage may have been solemnized more than 60 days after the date
16of the marriage license, if the marriage is in other respects lawful and is
17consummated with the full belief on the part of the persons so married, or either of
18them, that they have been lawfully joined in marriage. Where a marriage has been
19celebrated in one of the forms provided for in s. 765.16 (1m), and the parties thereto
1have immediately thereafter assumed the habit and repute of husband and wife, and
2having continued the same uninterruptedly thereafter for the period of one year, or
3until the death of either of them, it shall be deemed that a marriage license has been
4issued as required by ss. 765.05 to 765.24 and 767.803.
AB1022,10,117
863.39

, as defined in s. 177.01 (1), for deposit
11as provided under s. 177.0801. Claims for the money shall be made under sub. (3).

“administrator” is not defined in ch. 863.
