BCPL Draft Legislation

Thanks to everyone who contacted their representatives about the draft legislation of LRB-4425 : Board of Commissioners of Public Lands Reform. Legislators have heard from many of you! It has not been made public if there were any co-sponsors yet. The authors send it to the legislative reference bureau to be formally introduced—at that point the co-sponsors will become public. We are expecting to learn something soon and will post it as soon as we do!

If you haven't contacted your representatives, it's not too late to do so. Contact your state representative and state senator TODAY and ask them to oppose LRB-4425 it if it is introduced.

How to Contact Your Legislators:

 

The first step in contacting your legislator is knowing who your legislator is. The easiest way to do this is the tool found on the Legislature's home page, at http://legis.wisconsin.gov. In the right-hand side of that page is a link that says Find My Legislators!  Type your address in the box below that link to get the names of your state representative and senator.

You may also call and leave a message for your legislator's Capitol office or indicate your position on legislation through the toll free Legislative Hotline, at 1-800-362-9472.

The e-mail addresses of members of the Wisconsin Legislature all have the same format. For members of the Assembly, the form is Rep.Jones@legis.wisconsin.gov; for members of the Senate, the form is Sen.Adams@legis.wisconsin.gov.
