nondiscretionary, ministerial duty of the officers or employees

Yes, I know that it should. But, under the doctrine of separation of powers, it might not be applicable.
I think that other articles have already stated that the WI Constitution prohibits arrest or detention of legislators while the legislature is in session. Texas has the same kind of prohibition.
But, that's to keep the executive or judicial branches from keeping a legislator from voting. As far as I know, no one has ever tried to force a legislator to vote.
