This was the only legislative term under the redistricting plan imposed by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the 2022 case Johnson v. Wisconsin Elections Commission. The district plan was a Republican remedial proposal which closely adhered to districts adopted by the Republican legislature in 2011. During this legislative term, the Wisconsin Supreme Court declared that district plan unconstitutional on technical grounds, and the legislature and governor agreed on a new redistricting plan.

Senators representing odd-numbered districts were elected for this session and served the first two years of a four-year term. Assembly members were elected to a two-year term. Assembly members and odd-numbered senators were elected in the general election of November 8, 2022.^[2] Senators representing even-numbered districts were serving the third and fourth year of their four-year term, having been elected in the general election held on November 3, 2020.^[3]

Second legislative passage of a proposed amendment to the Constitution of Wisconsin.
• April 6, 2023: An Act ... relating to: statutory changes to implement the constitutional amendment relating to conditions of release, 2023 Act 3. Updated state law to reflect the constitutional amendments ratified in 2023 relating to bail.
• June 21, 2023: An Act ... relating to: county and municipal aid; imposing a city and county sales tax to pay the unfunded liability of city and county retirement systems; requiring certain newly hired city and county employees to be enrolled in the Wisconsin Retirement System; fire and police commissions of first class cities; eliminating the personal property tax; reporting certain crimes and other incidents on school property or school transportation; advisory referenda; local health officers; local public protection services; local levy limits; local regulation of certain quarry operations; emergency services; local approval of projects and activities under the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship 2000 Program; and granting rule-making authority, 2023 Act 12. A long-overdue compromise allowing Wisconsin municipalities to raise revenue. Shared revenue for Wisconsin municipalities was slashed in 2011 and placed on an unsustainable trajectory in order to give the appearance of a state budget surplus, at the same time local options to raise revenue independent of state authority were also constrained. This act allowed some easing of those rules to allow municipalities to avoid bankruptcy or mass layoffs.

• December 6, 2023: An Act ... relating to: funding for improvement of baseball park facilities, administration of county and municipal sales taxes, and making an appropriation, 2023 Act 41. Along with Act 40, providing funding for improvements to the American Family Field to ensure that the Milwaukee Brewers franchise remains in Milwaukee.
• February 19, 2024: An Act ... relating to: legislative redistricting, 2023 Act 94. This was a remedial legislative redistricting plan, passed by the legislature after the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the existing map. If the law stands, it will be the end of 12 years of extreme partisan gerrymandering in the Wisconsin legislature.
