2021 WISCONSIN ACT 238
An Act relating to: revising various provisions of the statutes for the purpose of making corrections and reconciling conflicts (Correction Bill).
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
238,1 Section 1 . 16.417 (1) (e) 1. and 2. of the statutes are amended to read:
16.417 (1) (e) 1. A registered nurse who is licensed under s. 441.06 or in a party state, as defined in s. 441.50 (2) (j), or, who is permitted under s. 441.08 , or who holds a multistate license, as defined in s. 441.51 (2) (h), issued in a party state, as defined in s. 441.51 (2) (k).
2. A licensed practical nurse who is licensed or has a temporary permit under s. 441.10 or who is licensed as a licensed practical/vocational nurse holds a multistate license, as defined in s. 441.51 (2) (h), issued in a party state, as defined in s. 441.50 (2) (j) 441.51 (2) (k).
Note: 2017 Wis. Act 135 repealed s. 441.50, which ratified the Nurse Licensure Compact, and created s. 441.51 to ratify the newer Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact. Act 135 did not take into account the cross-references to s. 441.50 created in s. 16.417 (1) (e) by 2017 Wis. Act 59. Consistent with other such cross-reference changes in Act 135, this Section changes cross-references to the now-repealed older compact provisions in favor of references to the new compact.
238,2 Section 2 . 16.423 (3) (c) of the statutes is amended to read:
16.423 (3) (c) For each appropriation of the state agency, an analysis of whether the appropriation contributes to the mission of the state agency and whether the objectives of the appropriation justify its expenditures.
Note: Inserts a missing word. The term “state agency” is defined in s. 16.423. “State” is inserted before “agency” so that the defined term is used consistently in the section.
238,3 Section 3 . The treatment of 16.855 (22) of the statutes by 2017 Wisconsin Act 237 is not repealed by 2017 Wisconsin Act 365. Both treatments stand.
Note: There is no conflict of substance.
238,4 Section 4 . 16.9945 (3m) (a) to (c) of the statutes are amended to read:
16.9945 (3m) (a) If the population of the municipality within which the eligible public library or library branch, as defined in sub. (2m) (a) 1., is located is 2,000 or less, $5,000.
(b) If the population of the municipality within which the eligible public library or library branch , as defined in sub. (2m) (a) 1., is located is at least 2,001 but less than 5,000, $7,500.
(c) If the population of the municipality within which the eligible public library or library branch , as defined in sub. (2m) (a) 1., is located is at least 5,000 but less than 20,001, $10,000.
Note: Inserts a term defined in s. 16.9945 (2m) (a) 1. Drafting records show that s. 16.9945 (2m) (a) 1., defining “library branch,” was added to a preliminary version of the bill that became 2017 Wis. Act 142, but that the corresponding language relating to branch libraries inserted in the bill did not incorporate the defined term.
238,5 Section 5. The treatment of 20.115 (1) (gb) of the statutes by 2017 Wisconsin Act 225 is not repealed by 2017 Wisconsin Act 366. Both treatments stand.
Note: There is no conflict of substance.
238,6 Section 6 . The treatment of 20.835 (2) (cp) of the statutes by 2017 Wisconsin Act 58 is not repealed by 2017 Wisconsin Act 59. Both treatments stand.
Note: There is no conflict of substance.
