Wisconsin 1809 Legislature A Long Session Noted For Tax Reforms
The 1809 Wisconsin Legislature adjourned after a record long session with about 102 bills passed. It enacted broad tax measures targeting corporations and railroads, created a three member tax commission, and boosted state revenues by roughly $500,000 per year. Leaders in both chambers guided conservative, business-friendly policies while pursuing primary reforms and anti pass rules. The session increased appropriations to the highest level yet, and addressed child labor, sweatshop, and factory labor protections, signaling a new era of regulation.
