Final Order, No. 18-06, In the Matter of the Petition to Amend Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 60.05(8)(b) and SCR 60.07(2) to modify the requirements for certain court staff to file an annual Statement of Economic Interests (SEI), to better coordinate with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission's administration of these statements.
On November 9, 2018, Diane M. Fremgen, Deputy Director of Court Operations, filed a rule petition asking the court to amend Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 60.05(8)(b) and SCR 60.07(2) to modify the requirements for certain court staff to file an annual Statement of Economic Interests (SEI), to better coordinate with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission's administration of these statements. The petition requests the amendment of two rules in SCR ch. 60, which the court has authority to amend. Judges and candidates for judicial office must file an annual statement of economic interest. See SCR 60.07(1). This petition would not alter that requirement.
