In essence, this bill amends the statutes related to the alternative open enrollment application procedures for changes in residency due to military orders. It extends the deadline for submitting an application based on a change of residence resulting from military orders from 30 to 90 days after the orders are issued. The bill clarifies that military orders include orders from any branch of the U.S. armed forces, a reserve component, the state defense force, or the national guard of any state.

The bill was co-authored by Senator André Jacque (Republican-1st District), Representative Rob Kreibich (Republican-28th District), Representative Jeffrey Mursau (Republican-36th District), Representative Ron Tusler (Republican-3rd District), and Representative Chuck Wichgers (Republican-84th District). It was sponsored by Senator Jodi Habush Sinykin (Democrat-8th District) and Senator Cory Tomczyk (Republican-29th District).

Tucker, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 75th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative David Armstrong.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
