March 28, 2012 – The Wisconsin Legislature has adjourned its 2011-12 floor period for regular business, drawing the curtain on a historically contentious legislative session.

The state Senate adjourned on March 15, 2012, and the Assembly followed suit the next day. The Legislature will not return for regular business until January 2013, following the November elections during which the entire Assembly and half the Senate will stand for election. In addition, four Republican state Senators are expected to face recall elections later this spring. Efforts to recall two Democratic Senators have also been announced.
