Secretary of State Will Take the Full 10 Days to Publish the Anti-Collective Bargaining Rights Bill

Secretary of State Doug La Follette said he will take the maximum 10 days to publish legislation the guv signed today changing collective bargaining rights.

La Follette said waiting the full 10 days is the standard procedure in his office.

Under state law, the Secretary of State has 10 days after the office receives a bill to publish it. It becomes law the following day.

The Legislative Reference Bureau said the 10-day count does not include Sundays, but La Follette said it also doesn't include Saturdays.

By La Follette's count, the final day for publication is March 25, a Friday. La Follette said he wasn't sure if a bill can become law over a weekend or if it would not take effect until the following Monday.
