Background:
|
As of the drafting of this update, The Joint Committee on Finance has completed its work and has submitted its version of the state budget to the Legislature. It is anticipated that the Wisconsin Assembly will take its vote on the budget on June 25, and that the State Senate will vote on the budget later that same week. While it seems more certain that the Assembly will vote to approve the Joint Finance Committee’s action, there is some discussion that there may not be sufficient votes in the Senate. We are in the period of prognostication and “horse trading,” and things may be clear by June 27.
Once passed, the budget goes to the Governor’s desk. At that point, the Governor can sign it into law; refuse to sign it, after which time it could become law without the Governor’s signature; use his line-item veto authority; or veto the entire budget.
Robin Vos, Speaker of the Assembly, has stated that, if the Governor vetoes the entire budget, the Assembly would not convene for an override vote until mid- to late October.
