WISCONSIN - Future legislators may land in the slammer if they fail to approve a budget in a timely manner.

A proposed bill revealed by Assembly Democrats Wednesday would impose strict rules on members of the budget conference committee in an effort to get a budget passed quickly. Four legislators introduced the bill, including Rep. Joe Parisi, D-Madison; Rep. Jon Richards, D-Milwaukee; Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison and Rep. Andy Jorgensen, D-Fort Atkinson.

With the exception of Pocan, none of the lawmakers who revealed the bill sit on either the joint finance committee or the budget conference committee.words you want linked
