AJR 60 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: proclaiming the week of June 22 to June 28, 2025, as Amateur Radio Week in the state of Wisconsin.

AJR 60 is a ceremonial resolution proclaiming the week of June 22-28, 2025, as "Amateur Radio Week" in Wisconsin. It directly recognizes Wisconsin’s over 11,000 licensed amateur radio operators (often called "hams") and their role in providing emergency communications during crises through groups like ARES and RACES. The resolution commends their community service, technical education efforts, and partnership with emergency management agencies, aligning with a national Amateur Radio Week designation by the American Radio Relay League. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or funding but honors existing volunteer contributions.

Joint Resolution Text → Enrolled Joint Resolution · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was finalized and enrolled, converting it from a draft introduction to an official legislative record. The text was cleaned up to remove formatting artifacts and corrected a specific typo where the word 'hams' was accidentally altered to 'Xhams,Y'. No substantive policy, funding, or eligibility changes were made.

TECHNICAL

Corrected a typo in the first 'Whereas' clause that changed the colloquial term 'hams' to 'Xhams,Y', likely due to an automated formatting error.

Added official enrollment metadata, including signatures from the President of the Senate and Speaker of the Assembly, and the Assembly Chief Clerk's date.

Removed draft-specific headers, committee referral notes, and page numbering artifacts present in the original introduction version.
