1stJanuary 9, 1889 – April 19, 1889

The Thirty-Ninth Wisconsin Legislature convened from January 9, 1889, to April 19, 1889, in regular session.[1]

This was the first legislative session after the redistricting of the Senate and Assembly according to an act of the previous session.

Senators representing even-numbered districts were newly elected for this session and were serving the first two years of a four-year term. Assembly members were elected to a two-year term. Assembly members and even-numbered senators were elected in the general election of November 6, 1888. Senators representing odd-numbered districts were serving the third and fourth year of a four-year term, having been elected in the general election of November 2, 1886.[1]

Major events

[edit]

Major legislation

[edit]
  • April 18, 1889: An Act concerning the education and employment of children, 1889 Act 519. Referred to as the "Bennett Law". The main purpose of the act was to raise the minimum employment age from 12 to 13 and required parents and guardians to ensure that children between the ages of 7 and 14 were receiving at least 12 weeks of education per year. "Section 5" of the act defined a "school" as only one which provided instructions solely in the English language. This proved to be a highly controversial move in a state which had many German, Polish, and Scandinavian language schools. The backlash against the law likely contributed significantly to the Democratic wave election in 1890.
  • Joint Resolution agreeing to a proposed amendment to the constitution, 1889 Joint Resolution 3. This was the required second legislative passage of a proposed amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution to abolish the separate offices of "chief justice" and "associate justices" of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and instead define all members of the court as "justices" with the most senior justice acting as "chief justice". This amendment was ratified by voters at the 1889 spring general election.
  • Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to section 1, of article 10, of the constitution of the state of Wisconsin, relating to Education, 1889 Joint Resolution 7. This was another attempt to amend the section of the Constitution of Wisconsin dealing with the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The previous attempt had just been defeated in an 1888 referendum.
