The One Hundred Sixth Wisconsin Legislature is the current ongoing legislative term in Wisconsin. It was convened on January 3, 2023, in regular session, and is scheduled to conclude on January 6, 2025, though it adjourned for legislative activity on March 12, 2024. [1] There has been one special session during this term.

Contents

This was the only legislative session under the legislative redistricting plan imposed by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the 2022 case Johnson v. Wisconsin Elections Commission. The district plan was a Republican remedial proposal which closely adhered to districts adopted by the Republican legislature in 2011. During this legislative term, the Wisconsin Supreme Court declared that district plan unconstitutional on technical grounds, and the legislature and governor agreed on a new redistricting plan.

Senators representing odd-numbered districts are newly elected for this session and are serving the first two years of a four-year term. Assembly members are elected to a two-year term. Assembly members and odd-numbered senators were elected in the general election of November 8, 2022. [2] Senators representing even-numbered districts are serving the third and fourth year of their four-year term, having been elected in the general election held on November 3, 2020. [3]
