Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This correction bill was prepared by the Legislative Reference Bureau under s.
13.92 (1) (bm) 1. and 2. and (2) (i) and (L), stats. Specific changes are explained in
the Notes in the body of the bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do

5publicly owned building on the grounds of a university or college, if the university

8who leases residential or business premises in the building or, if the firearm is in a
9vehicle driven or parked in the parking facility, to any part of the building used as
10a parking facility.
Note: Makes s. 943.13 (1m) (c) 4. and 5. consistent with s. 943.13 (1m) (c) 1. to 3.
by restoring language contained in an earlier version of the draft of s. 943.13 (1m) (c) 4.
and 5. Drafting records show that s. 943.13 (1m) (c) 4. and 5. were originally created as
s. 943.13 (1n) (a) 1. and 2. and that s. 943.13 (1n) (a) (intro.) stated: "A person is guilty
of a Class C misdemeanor if he or she, while carrying a firearm, does any of the following:".
These violations were subsequently changed to be Class B forfeitures and moved to s.
943.13 (1m). Section 943.13 (1m) (intro.) does not contain the "while carrying a firearm"
language, thus requiring this language to be included in the separate subdivisions
describing the specific violations, consistent with s. 943.13 (1m) (c) 1. to 3.
