Governor Walker did sign the Landlord's Omnibus Bill into law.

I appreciate everyone who called the Governor's office to ask him to veto the bill because of its deficiencies.

Here is a link to the new law. It's much easier to read than going back and forth between the original bill, the Substitute bill, and the two amendments.

My two main concerns with the law, which led me to ask that the bill be vetoed, are section 35M and section 36.

The AASEW has already spoken with Sen. Lassee's office regarding these two major problems, and I will keep you informed if and when anything is done about them.

And yes, I will be reviewing all of Wisconsin Legal Blank's forms in the near future and making the necessary revisions - if needed - and will let you know when they will be available : )
