The long awaited criminal code revision remains unintroduced, with a special committee extended to December 1 1955 to finish work.

Legislative Council Faces Two Year Housing of Study
Madison report shows the Legislative Council will study 45 bills and broad topics over the next two years. Committees with experts examine knotty issues beyond the session, including education funding, civil defense, arterial highways, and brucellosis control. The 1955 Legislature directs interim reviews on banking, teacher retirement funds, and state education. Senator Knowles seeks a full government structure review with a special committee. Other resolutions call for interim studies of elections, watersheds, public access, road laws and annexation. Branch banking sparked four public hearings with Milwaukee banks pushing for branch offices and Milwaukee county offices already in place before 1940s prohibitions.
