Wisconsin legislative sessions are referred to by the odd-numbered year in which the session starts. All bills introduced are named for the odd-numbered year of the legislative session regardless of whether they are introduced in an odd or even-numbered year, except for special session bills, which include the month the special session began in the title -- January 2002 Special Session Senate Bill 1, for example. There are no acts identified by an even-numbered year even though they may have passed in an even-numbered year.
