June 2024 - Current Legislative Update: 
This month, the Wisconsin Supreme Court is considering a legal challenge from Gov. Tony Evers (D) to the Wisconsin Legislature’s committee oversight power over the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program (KNSP). Oral arguments before the court were held April 17. Specifically, the lawsuit from Gov. Evers alleges that a provision giving the Joint Committee on Finance the power to review and veto funding awards under the Stewardship Program is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers. Gov. Evers announced the filing of the lawsuit in October of last year, claiming that Republicans in the Legislature are “violating the Wisconsin Constitution and intruding into executive powers.” The suit was filed as a petition for original action by Attorney General Kaul at the governor’s request.
