13.92 (1) (bm) 1. and 2. and (2) (i) and (L), stats., is explained in the Notes in the body
of the bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SB991,1 3Section 1 . 13.48 (30) (a) 2. of the statutes, as created by 2021 Wisconsin Act
458
, is amended to read:
SB991,1,55 13.48 (30) (a) 2. “Unserved area” has the meaning given in s. 196.504 (1) (c).
Note: The defined term in s. 196.504 (1) (c) is “unserved area.”
SB991,2 6Section 2 . 14.88 of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin Act 100, is
7amended to read:
SB991,2,3 814.88 Physical therapy licensure compact. There is created a physical
9therapy compact commission as specified in s. 448.985. The administrator of

1delegate for the commission representing this state shall be an individual described
2in s. 448.985 (7) (b) 2. The commission has the powers and duties granted and
3imposed under s. 448.985.
Note: Changes incorrect term. Appointees to the physical therapy compact
commission are referred to in the compact as delegates, not administrators.
SB991,3 4Section 3. 15.165 (2) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB991,2,175 15.165 (2) Group insurance board. There is created in the department of
6employee trust funds a group insurance board. The board shall consist of the
7governor, the attorney general, the secretary of administration, the director of the

12teacher, one shall be an insured participant in the Wisconsin Retirement System who
13is a teacher, one shall be an insured participant in the Wisconsin Retirement System

15government, and one shall be the chief executive or a member of the governing body
16of a local unit of government that is a participating employer in the Wisconsin
17Retirement System.
Note: Changes incorrect term. 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.
SB991,4 18Section 4. 16.997 (2) (e) of the statutes is repealed.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.
196.209 (4) (a) and (b). Section 196.209 was repealed by 2021 Wis. Act 24.
SB991,5
1Section 5. 20.465 (3) (hm) of the statutes, as created by 2021 Wisconsin Act
258
, is amended to read:
SB991,3,123 20.465 (3) (hm) Urban search and rescue task force supplement. As a
4continuing appropriation, the amounts in the schedule to be used for response costs

6323.72 (1) and for reimbursement to a local agency for any increase in contributions
7for duty disability premiums under s. 40.05 (2) (aw) for employees who receive duty
8disability benefits under s. 40.65 because of an injury incurred while performing
9duties as a member of an urban search and rescue task force under a contract under
10s. 323.72 (1). All moneys received under s. 323.72 (3) as reimbursement for expenses
11incurred for an urban search and rescue task force response shall be credited to this
12appropriation account.
Note: Adds language that was unintentionally omitted from 2021 Wis. Act 58.
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
(3) (hm).
SB991,6 13Section 6 . 20.507 (1) (h) of the statutes, as affected by 2019 Wisconsin Acts 9

. All amounts deducted from the gross receipts of the appropriate funds as
18provided under ss. 24.04, 24.09 (1) (bm), 24.53, and 24.62 (1) shall be credited to this
19appropriation account. Notwithstanding s. 20.001 (3) (a), the unencumbered
20balance at the end of each fiscal year shall be transferred to the trust funds, as
21defined under s. 24.60 (5). The amount transferred to each trust fund, as defined
22under s. 24.60 (5), shall bear the same proportion to the total amount transferred to

1the trust funds that the gross receipts of that trust fund bears to the total gross
2receipts credited to this appropriation account during that fiscal year.
Note: Deletes unnecessary language. The stricken text was inserted by 2019 Wis.
Act 110
but rendered without effect by the treatment of s. 20.507 (1) (h) by 2019 Wis. Act
9
.
SB991,7 3Section 7 . The treatment of 38.16 (3) (a) 2w. of the statutes by 2021 Wisconsin
4Act 58
is not repealed by 2021 Wisconsin Act 61. Both treatments stand.
Note: There is no conflict of substance.
SB991,8 5Section 8. 40.05 (4) (ah) 3. and 4. of the statutes are amended to read:

12savings account under s. 40.515 and the amount that employees are required to pay
13for health insurance premiums for a high-deductible health plan under s. 40.515.
Note: Changes incorrect term. 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.
SB991,9 14Section 9 . The treatment of 48.09 (5) of the statutes by 2019 Wisconsin Act 109
15is not repealed by 2019 Wisconsin Act 134. Both treatments stand.
Note: There is no conflict of substance.
SB991,10 16Section 10 . The treatment of 66.0511 (2) of the statutes by 2021 Wisconsin Act
1748
is not repealed by 2021 Wisconsin Act 49. Both treatments stand.

SB991,11
1Section 11. 66.1014 (1) (c) of the statutes, as created by 2021 Wisconsin Act
255
, is repealed.
Note: Repeals a redundant definition for “short-term rental." That term, as used
in s. 66.1014, is defined by cross-reference to s. 66.0615 (1) (dk), which is identical to s.
66.1014 (1) (c).
SB991,12 3Section 12 . 71.05 (6) (a) 15. of the statutes, as affected by 2019 Wisconsin Act

7(3t), (3w), (3wm), (3y), (4k), (4n), (5e), (5i), (5j), (5k), (5r), (5rm), (6n), and (10) and not
8passed through by a partnership, limited liability company, or tax-option
9corporation that has added that amount to the partnership's, company's, or
10tax-option corporation's income under s. 71.21 (4) or 71.34 (1k) (g).
Note: Deletes an obsolete cross-reference. Section 71.07 (3p) (c) 5. was repealed
by 2019 Wis. Act 54.
SB991,13 11Section 13. 73.03 (76) of the statutes, as created by 2021 Wisconsin Act 87, is
12amended to read:

146 months after the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the 2021-22 fiscal year and
15ending with the 2025-26 fiscal year, that contains information on the use of contract
16auditors in the unclaimed property program under ch. 177, including auditor
17performance results and comments and concerns from those audited regarding the
18contract auditors. The department shall survey those audited by contract auditors
19to receive comments and concerns. Before allowing any person to engage in an audit
20of another person's documents or records, the administrator, as defined in s. 177.01
21(1),
shall post the contract or other agreement with the person on the department's
22Internet site. The contract or other agreement shall remain posted on the

1department's Internet site until the contract or other agreement is no longer in effect,
2is no longer valid, or is superseded or otherwise rescinded. The person may take no
3action to engage in the audit until the administrator certifies that the person will
4proceed, even if domiciled in another state, in accordance with Wisconsin statutes
5and department rules and guidance documents and the administrator concludes
6there is a reasonable justification for using the person to engage in the audit. The
7administrator shall actively monitor the person to ensure that the person, even if
8domiciled in another state, is acting in accordance with such statutes, rules, and
9guidance documents and shall immediately take corrective action, including
10rescinding the contract, if the administrator reasonably concludes the person is not
11acting in accordance with such statutes, rules, and guidance documents.
Note: Adds a cross-reference to the definition of “administrator.” The term
“administrator” is not defined in ch. 73.
SB991,14 12Section 14. 85.21 (3m) (b) 4. of the statutes is amended to read:
SB991,6,1613 85.21 (3m) (b) 4. Employ as an operator of a human service vehicle any person

16(8) and any rule established by the department under s. 343.12 (7) and (8).
Note: Adds a missing word. An endorsement under s. 343.12 (7) and (8) is a “school
bus endorsement.”
SB991,15 17Section 15. 86.31 (3s) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB991,6,2018 86.31 (3s) (b) 1. From the appropriation under s. 20.395 (2) (fc), 2019 stats., the

2shall allocate $22,847,400 in fiscal year 2019-20, to fund municipal street

Note: Inserts correct cross-reference. 2021 Wis. Act 58 renumbered s. 20.395 (2)
(fc) to s. 20.395 (2) (fq), but the renumbering did not affect fiscal year 2019-20.
SB991,16 4Section 16. 165.85 (4) (em) 6. of the statutes, as created by 2021 Wisconsin Act
582

10agreement to which the law enforcement agency, tribal law enforcement agency, jail,
11juvenile detention facility, or government agency is a party if the agreement was
12executed before November 7, 2021.
Note: The defined term for s. 165.85 is “employment file,” defined in s. 165.85 (2)
(ap).
SB991,17 13Section 17. 177.0605 (10) of the statutes, as created by 2021 Wisconsin Act 87,
14is amended to read:
SB991,7,1815 177.0605 (10) Not later than 120 days after a claim is filed under sub. (1) or
16(4) (5), the administrator shall allow or deny the claim and give the claimant notice

sub. (1) or (5).
SB991,18 19Section 18. 177.0801 (2) (f) of the statutes, as created by 2021 Wisconsin Act

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.
Adm. Code, now refers to “filling and sealing" rather than “abandoning" a well, and the
provision requiring filling and sealing was moved to s. NR 812.26 (4) (a) by CR 18-095.

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

Note: Changes incorrect term. The defined term “school” was changed to “covered
school” in all other instances in s. 287.17 by 2021 Wis. Act 79.

2is amended to read:

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.”
SB991,22 6Section 22 . The treatment of 448.956 (4) of the statutes by 2021 Wisconsin Act
771

11contracted shall be void either by reason of the marriage license having been issued
12by a county clerk not having jurisdiction to issue the same; or by reason of any
13informality or irregularity of form in the application for the marriage license or in
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.
Note: Adds language erroneously deleted by 2021 Wis. Act 84.
SB991,24 5Section 24. 863.39 (1) of the statutes, as affected by 2021 Wisconsin Act 87,
6is amended to read:

11as provided under s. 177.0801. Claims for the money shall be made under sub. (3).

“administrator” is not defined in ch. 863.
SB991,25 12Section 25 . The treatment of Opt 4.03 (2) (b) of the administrative code by CR
1319-026 is not repealed by CR 19-033. Both treatments stand.
