Gov. Evers Signs Senate Bill 126

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today signed Senate Bill 126, now 2025 Wisconsin Act 7, which delays the effective date of a provision of 2023 Wisconsin Act 126 that requires candidates, committees, political parties, and conduits to register with and submit campaign finance information reports to the Wisconsin Ethics Commission, including relating to registration statements. The bill delays the effective date of this provision from July 1, 2025, to Dec. 1, 2027, to ensure the Wisconsin Ethics Commission has the time and resources to enact this change.

• Delays the effective date of a provision of 2023 Wisconsin Act 126 that requires committees, political parties, and conduits to register with and submit campaign finance reports to the Ethics Commission using its campaign finance information system from July 1, 2025, to Dec. 1, 2027; and
• Clarifies that protections created in Act 126 regarding personally identifiable information would apply to both current and former election officials if they submit a written request for confidentiality.
