According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "designating the Tom Diehl Memorial Highway. (FE)".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill mandates the Department of Transportation to designate and mark the section of US Highway 12 running through the village of Lake Delton in Sauk County, Wisconsin, as the "Tom Diehl Memorial Highway." The bill involves creating a new statute, 84.1054, to formalize this designation, ensuring the highway segment is labeled in honor of Tom Diehl. The purpose appears to be commemorative, aiming to recognize and memorialize Tom Diehl by naming this stretch of road after him. The bill will take effect upon enactment, ensuring swift implementation by the Department of Transportation.
The bill was co-authored by Senator Sarah Keyeski (Democrat-14th District), Representative Barbara Dittrich (Republican-99th District), Representative Russell Goodwin (Democrat-12th District), Representative Alex R. Joers (Democrat-81st District), Representative Dean Kaufert (Republican-53rd District). It was co-sponsored by Senator Howard L. Marklein (Republican-17th District), Senator Steve L. Nass (Republican-11th District), and Senator Brad Pfaff (Democrat-32nd District), along 10 other co-sponsors.
Alex A. Dallman has co-authored another five bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.
Dallman graduated from Edgewood College in 2015 with a BS.
Dallman, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 39th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Mark Born.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
