Full Text of Section 806.44
Plain-English Summary
Section 806.44 closes out the foreign-money claims statutes with a naming provision. It states that Sections 806.30 to 806.44 may be cited as the “Uniform Foreign-Money Claims Act.”
The short title does not add any substantive requirement of its own. It supplies a single name for the sequence of sections, consistent with Section 806.43’s directive that these provisions be construed to keep Wisconsin’s law uniform with other states that have adopted the same model act.
