Wis. Stat. § 111.92
Par. (a) is affected effective 7-1-13 by 2011 Wis. Act 32, and in subd. 1. is merged by the legislative reference bureau under s. 13.92(2) (i) with the treatment by 2011 Wis. Acts 10, to read:
(a) 1. Any tentative agreement reached between the office and any labor organization representing a collective bargaining unit specified in s. 111.825(1) or (2) (d) or (e) shall, after official ratification by the labor organization, be submitted by the office to the joint committee on employment relations, which shall hold a public hearing before determining its approval or disapproval.
2. Any tentative agreement reached between the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System, acting for the state, and any labor organization representing a collective bargaining unit specified in s. 111.825(1r) shall, after official ratification by the labor organization, be submitted by the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System to the joint committee on employment relations, which shall hold a public hearing before determining its approval or disapproval.
3. Any tentative agreement reached between the University of Wisconsin-Madison, acting for the state, and any labor organization representing a collective bargaining unit specified in s. 111.825(1t) shall, after official ratification by the labor organization, be submitted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison to the joint committee on employment relations, which shall hold a public hearing before determining its approval or disapproval.
4. If the committee approves a tentative agreement under subd. 1., 2., or 3., it shall introduce in a bill or companion bills, to be put on the calendar or referred to the appropriate scheduling committee of each house, that portion of the tentative agreement which requires legislative action for implementation, such as salary and wage adjustments, changes in fringe benefits, and any proposed amendments, deletions or additions to existing law. Such bill or companion bills are not subject to ss. 13.093(1), 13.50(6) (a) and (b) and 16.47(2). The committee may, however, submit suitable portions of the tentative agreement to appropriate legislative committees for advisory recommendations on the proposed terms. The committee shall accompany the introduction of such proposed legislation with a message that informs the legislature of the committee's concurrence with the matters under consideration and which recommends the passage of such legislation without change. If the joint committee on employment relations does not approve the tentative agreement, it shall be returned to the parties for renegotiation. If the legislature does not adopt without change that portion of the tentative agreement introduced by the joint committee on employment relations, the tentative agreement shall be returned to the parties for renegotiation.
Courts have no jurisdiction to review legislative rules of proceeding, which are those rules having "to do with the process the legislature uses to propose or pass legislation or how it determines the qualifications of its members." Sub. (1) (a) does not set forth a legislative rule of proceeding. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel v. DOA, 2009 WI 79, 319 Wis. 2d 439, 768 N.W.2d 700, 07-1160. Matters within the scope of bargaining under s. 111.91, agreed to by the Department of Administration and a state employee union, are not effective until submitted as tentative agreements to and approved by the joint committee on employment relations. 67 Atty.
