I've been searching everywhere online but I can't find when the bill will be effective. According to the WI rules, a bill has six business days to be signed into law or it becomes law unless vetoed.
Walker claims he will sign the bill on July 8th; however, isn't the bill already law because the bill was enrolled correctly on 6-23-2011 so wouldn't the bill become law after July 1st since that is 6 full business days after enrollment?
If this is correct, isn't the signing ceremony on July 8th just for political pandering since the bill would have already been on his desk for 6 days making it law?
Can anyone who is familiar with the WI legislative process please clarify this? Thanks
