What is the process now ?

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

If you believe this website ( http://www.progressive.org/kemble062211.html ) it has already been signed. It is the only place that I've found where it says it's been signed already.

However, the bill history doesn't say it has so I believe it hasn't.

I don't believe it. I would think news like this would be splattered all over more credible media. Besides, Walker seems to have a chubby for the Demo-RATS and I would hope he would rub their noses into everything they don't want to happen.
Somewhere I read something about "transcribing" or something to that effect that has to be done before he signs it. I looked around and can't find where I saw it.

I also would like to know! Not only for the personal excitement (shaking like an excited child!), but I know a few guys on the holster thread want to know too.

The Governor has 30 days to sign it, after that, the Secretary of State has 10 business days to notice a publication date.
I think you may have the two mixed up.
It is rumored that he will sign it after 2 weeks. It will be signed publicly after 2 other bills are signed publically. The bill signings are being spread out.
ETA: By 'rumored' I mean word of mouth. Many of us that were in the gallery went to a bar across from the capital to celebrate with legislators and staff and that is what I heard one of them say.

I never thought I would want a pen from a signing... but i would LOVE to get one of those pens he signs SB93 with.
I thought I heard on the radio this morning he has 6 days to sign it.

WI Constitution Article V, Section 10 Governor to approve or veto bills; proceedings on veto
Paragraph 3:
"Any bill not returned by the governor within 6 days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to the governor shall be law unless the legislature, by final adjournment, prevents the bill’s return, in which case it shall not be law."

I hate to be a bubble buster....but unless somebody fast tracks this, it might not even hit Walker's desk until 8/4.
The current status is just that it has been received (by the senate) from the Assembly as concurred.
Next step is for it to be stamped 'enrolled'. Then at some point, enrolled bills get sent to the governor. That's when the 6 day clock starts. Currently enrolled bills must be submitted "no later than 4:30 pm on August 4th."
Of course, if the Senate is done with business for this floor period (as I believe it is), it is _likely_ that enrolled bills will be sent very soon....but it has not happened _yet_.

Is it different for the Budget? Cuz that is where I got the 30 days from. What I heard was he had 30 days to veto or line-item veto. If he takes no action after 30 days in automatically go to the Sec. of State.

A legislative staffer said that the Governor has 3 bills to sign, and SB93 will be the third. The ceremonial bill signings are going to be spread out over 2 or so weeks for political exposure.

A scan of the WI Constitution (http://legis.wisconsin.gov/rsb/unannotated_wisconst.pdf) for "days" finds nothing other than the "6 days" reference regarding the Governor and the signing of a bill (regardless as to nature).

Cool. That'll be a good way to remind me of his sticking permits and a freakin' database in there.

I think BrokenSprocket commented in another thread (sorry if it wasn't you) that Walker's aides said he was spreading bills out over a couple of weeks.
Just to update and perhaps confirm that to some extent...as I said, this bill hasn't even officially been sent to him yet. The status updated overnight to having been officially "enrolled" yesterday.
The next entry to watch for will be the comment that it was delivered to the Gov. That's when the 6 day clock starts, and it doesn't _have_ to happen before Aug. 4th (although we're pretty sure it will be in the next few days).
There might also be a tag in there "Report properly enrolled" before going to the Gov.

It wasn't one of Walker's aides , but a staffer to iehter Scott or Jeff Fitzgerald. He said there were 3 bills to sign and they wer being spread out over 2 weeks. Now we have found out that the siggning of SB93 is goingto be a 'Grand Show'. People are bieng flown in for this event. Undconfirmed rumor that Ted Nugent MIGHT be there. I bet the NRA will be there in force. I wonder if WCI-BOD will be there?
