The bill repeals the current provisions regarding fees for obtaining the official voter registration list and establishes new fee guidelines.

  • 6.36 (6)

    The commission shall establish a fee, by rule, for obtaining a copy of the official voter registration list. The fee amount shall be an amount estimated to cover both the cost of reproduction and the cost of maintaining the list at the state and local level.

    This change removes the current fee-setting provisions and their rationale.

  • 6.36 (6m)

    Subject to the restrictions under sub. (1) (b), a person may obtain a copy of the official registration list, or any portion of the list, electronically by paying to the commission a fee established by the commission of $250 or less. If a person wishes to obtain a physical copy of the official registration list, or any portion of the list, the commission may charge the person a fee in addition to the fee established by the commission under this subsection in order to cover the cost of reproducing the list in physical form and the cost of postage, if any.

    This adds new provisions allowing for a specific electronic fee and additional physical copy fees.
