Dan Feyen, Wisconsin State Senator for 20th District | Official website
According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "compliance with the federal Electoral Count Reform Act. (FE)".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill amends Wisconsin election laws to align with the federal Electoral Count Reform Act, ensuring procedures comply with deadlines for certifying presidential election results within 36 days post-election. It mandates the governor transmit a certificate of ascertainment of presidential electors to the archivist of the United States six days before electors meet, modifies the elector meeting date to the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December, and requires the Elections Commission chairperson to complete the state canvass within 16 days post-election. Recount petitions in presidential elections must be processed immediately with electronic transmission, and recounts commence within two days, without adjournment until completion. Appeals of recount results can be filed within one business day to the circuit court, and subsequently to the state Supreme Court, which must resolve issues before electors meet. The bill mandates adjustments to municipal and county canvassing timelines to meet these requirements, with new procedures taking effect starting with the 2028 general election.
The bill was co-authored by Rep. Scott Krug (Republican-72nd District). It was co-sponsored by Rep. Elijah R. Behnke (Republican-6th District), Rep. Barbara Dittrich (Republican-99th District), and Rep. Chanz J. Green (Republican-74th District), along with five other co-sponsors.
Dan Feyen has authored or co-authored another 96 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with three of them being enacted.
Feyen graduated from Fox Valley Technical College in 1988.
Feyen, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate in 2025 to represent the state's 20th Senate district, replacing previous state senator Duey Stroebel.
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.
