Amendment History
Wisconsin prints each section’s legislative history as a single “History” line naming every act that created or amended it, and every renumbering. It is reproduced verbatim below.
History: 2017 a. 203.
Plain-English Summary
A single sentence, added in 2017, and it exists because notice only works if the court knows where to send it. Within 5 business days after receiving notice of a change of address from a party to an action affecting the family, the clerk of circuit court must enter the new address in the case file.
The duty is the clerk's; the notice is the party's to give. Section 767.58 carries the corresponding obligation on a party subject to a support order to report a change of address and employer.
