AJR 133 & SJR 124 : Death to the separation of powers

Bill Description

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.

Current Status

AJR 133 was introduced on Jan. 29, 2026, and referred to the Assembly Committee on Government Operations, Accountability, and Transparency. It received a public hearing on Feb. 4, 2026, passed out of committee on Feb. 10, 2026, and passed the Assembly on Feb. 12, 2026.
