AB878,58 12Section 58. 255.06 (1) (e) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB878,15,1513 255.06 (1) (e) “Poverty line" means the nonfarm federal poverty line for the
14continental United States, as defined by the federal department of labor under in 42
15USC 9902
(2).
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.
AB878,59 16Section 59 . 301.19 (4) of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin Act 8, is
17amended to read:
AB878,16,318 301.19 (4) Unless the governor has declared a state of emergency under s.
19323.10, the department of corrections may not expand the capacity of, or

1substantially modify the structure or physical security of, a juvenile correctional
2facility established under s. 301.16 (1w) without prior approval by the governing
3body of the city, village, or town in which the juvenile correctional facility is located.
Note: Section 301.01 (1) defines “department” for all of ch. 301 to mean “the
department of corrections.” This change strikes unnecessary words to consistently use
the defined term.
AB878,60 4Section 60. 341.14 (8v) (title) and (8w) (title) of the statutes are repealed.
Note: The other subsections in s. 341.14 do not have titles.
AB878,61 5Section 61. 343.301 (3) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB878,16,126 343.301 (3) (b) If the court finds that the person who is subject to an order under
7sub. (1g) has a household income that is at or below 150 percent of the nonfarm
8federal poverty line for the continental United States, as defined by the federal
9department of labor under
in 42 USC 9902 (2), the court shall limit the person's
10liability under par. (a) to one-half of the cost of equipping each motor vehicle with
11an ignition interlock device and one-half of the cost per day per vehicle of
12maintaining 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 13Section 62. 345.05 (1) (c) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB878,16,1714 345.05 (1) (c) “Municipality" means any county, city, village, town, school
15district as enumerated in s. 67.01 (5), sewer district, drainage district, commission
16formed by a contract under s. 66.0301 (2), and, without restriction because of failure
17of 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 18Section 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 1Section 64. 440.032 (3m) of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin Act 17,
2is amended to read:
AB878,17,63 440.032 (3m) Exam administration in Wisconsin. The department of health
4services shall administer in this state the performance examinations of the Board for
5Evaluation of Interpreters or its successor, unless the department of safety and
6professional services
approves another administrator of the examinations.
Note: Inserts the full name of the intended department to avoid ambiguity.
AB878,65 7Section 65. 632.866 (3) (b) (intro.) of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin
8Act 12
, is amended to read:
AB878,17,139 632.866 (3) (b) (intro.) An insurer, pharmacy benefit manager, or utilization
10review organization shall grant an exception to the step therapy protocol if the
11prescribing provider submits complete, clinically relevant written documentation
12supporting a step therapy protocol exception request and any of the following are
13satisfied:
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 14Section 66. 632.866 (3) (f) of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin Act
1512
, is amended to read:
AB878,18,816 632.866 (3) (f) An insurer, pharmacy benefit manager, or utilization review
17organization shall grant or deny a request for any exception to the step therapy
18protocol within 3 business days of receipt of the complete, clinically relevant written
19documentation required under par. (b) to support a step therapy protocol exception
20request under par. (b) or the receipt of a request to appeal a previous decision that
21includes the complete, clinically relevant written documentation supporting a step

1therapy protocol exception request. In exigent circumstances, an insurer, pharmacy
2benefit manager, or utilization review organization shall grant or deny a request for
3an exception to the step therapy protocol by the end of the next business day after
4receipt of the complete, clinically relevant written documentation supporting a step
5therapy protocol exception request under par. (b). If the insurer, pharmacy benefit
6manager, or utilization review organization does not grant or deny a request or an
7appeal under the time specified under this paragraph, the exception is considered
8granted.
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 9Section 67. 938.31 (5) (title) of the statutes is created to read:
AB878,18,1010 938.31 (5) (title) Indian juveniles.
Note: The other subsections in s. 938.31 have titles.
AB878,68 11Section 68 . 990.01 (21m) of the statutes, as affected by 2019 Wisconsin Act 50,
12is amended to read:
AB878,18,1413 990.01 (21m) Motorcycle. “Motorcycle" is a motor vehicle as defined has the
14meaning 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).

2938.357 (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.

4(1n) (by Section 35), 301.20, 938.02 (4) (by Section 50), 938.34 (2) (a) (by Section 57)
