The Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld an unusual veto by Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI) where he changed language in a bill to secure education funding for 400 years.

In July 2023, Evers vetoed select words, numbers, and hyphens in the state budget to extend an increase in spending per student by $325 meant for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years to 2425. The action was decried by Republicans, with a lawsuit filed in the state Supreme Court arguing it was unconstitutional to modify language in a veto by “striking individual digits in an enrolled bill to create a new year.”
