phrase after the second instance of “tobacco products” in s. 139.75 (4) (c). Drafting records
indicate that the change was intended.

6to the circuit court for the county where the corporation's principal office or, if none
7in this state, its registered office is located for an order to permit inspection and

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.

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.

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.

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.
SB990,63 18Section 63. 440.032 (1) (d) of the statutes is repealed.

10review organization shall grant an exception to the step therapy protocol if the
11prescribing provider submits complete, clinically relevant written documentation

632.866 (1) (e). “Protocol” is inserted after “step therapy” so that the defined term is used
consistently in the section.
SB990,66 14Section 66. 632.866 (3) (f) of the statutes, as created by 2019 Wisconsin Act
1512
, is amended to read:

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.
