The Assembly passed AJR2/SJR3 this afternoon on a
bi-partisan vote of 68-31. A statewide referendum will be held in April
2018, and Wisconsin voters will get to decide whether or not the state
treasurer position is officially eliminated.
Representative Michael Schraa (R-Oshkosh), a co-author of
the proposal, has repeatedly promised that if voters ultimately decide to keep
the office, he will draft a bill to restore the state treasurer’s duties, many
of which have been transferred to state agencies over the years.
Both Schraa and the current State Treasurer Matt Adamczyk
issued statements praising the move.
Schraa Statement: Amendment
to Delete State Treasurer Passes
State Treasurer Adamczyk: Thanks
Legislature for passage of SJR 3.
