The Bill must be considered by the Senate as it was passed by the Assembly. There is no way to amend it. Nothing requires a 2/3 quorum. The quorum number is set at 20. Senate membership is 33. There are 19 Republicans — all in favor. There are 14 absent Democrats. When ONE comes back, they will vote and it will all be over. Then there will be recalls to consider. right now they are trying to recall a slough of Dems and a couple of Republicans.

I'm not talking about amending it; I'm talking about starting over with a separate bill.

Nothing requires a 2/3 quorum. The quorum number is set at 20.

The WI Constitution requires a three-fifths quorum for fiscal legislation. Since the total number of elected members is 33, a three-fifths quorum is calculated to be 20. There is no law or senate rule "setting" the quorum to 20.
