CNOW for Feb. 9, 2026
Today's conservation notice:
- Oppose AJR 133 & SJR 124: Death to the separation of powers
- Oppose AB 955: Politicians micromanaging health-based standards
Oppose AB 995: Extending delays to setting health-based standards
Oppose AJR 133 & SJR 124: Death to the separation of powers
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AJR 133 & SJR 124, which are before the Assembly Committee on Government Operations, Accountability, and Transparency, and the Senate Committee on Licensing, Regulatory Reform, State and Federal Affairs on Tuesday.
The Wisconsin Constitution establishes three co-equal branches of government to ensure appropriate checks and balances over policies that impact our families and environment. AJR 133 & SJR 124 would concentrate power in the hands of the Wisconsin legislature by proposing a constitutional amendment allowing the Wisconsin legislature to kill any health-based standards, without oversight from the executive branch.
Oppose AB 955: Politicians micromanaging health-based standards
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AB 955, which is before the Assembly Committee on Government Operations, Accountability, and Transparency on Tuesday.
To protect our families from environmental contamination, our state agencies need the ability to efficiently and effectively advance health-based standards, based on the latest science. AB 955 would disrupt this process by requiring explicit statutory authority for any new administrative rule.
Oppose AB 995: Extending delays to setting health-based standards
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AB 995, which is before the Assembly Committee on Government Operations, Accountability, and Transparency on Tuesday.
Under current law, it already takes too long to set health-based standards for contaminants from polluted air, water, and soils. These standards are important for protecting Wisconsinites. AB 995 makes the process even longer by adding an additional 6 months to the timeline for rule finalization.
Conservation Notices of the Week (CNOW) announces the pro-conservation positions on issues before the Senate, Assembly and/or Governor in the week ahead to state legislators. Others wishing to follow activities in the state legislature also receive CNOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on the Vote Tracker. Issues in the CNOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard, to be released in the summer of 2026.
