Prohibit Partial Veto to Increase Tax or Fee Amendment
Wisconsin · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Prohibit the governor from using the partial veto to create or increase any tax or fee
A yes vote means
Governors will no longer be allowed to use partial vetoes to create new taxes or increase existing taxes and fees.
A no vote means
Governors will keep their current power to use partial vetoes on tax and fee increases, just like any other part of a bill.
Simple explanation
Right now, a governor can use a 'partial veto' to cross out specific parts of a bill — like using a red pen to edit a document. This measure says the governor can't use that power to create new taxes or raise existing ones. It's like saying, 'You can still edit most things, but you can't use your red pen to add charges to people's bills.'
