WI SB233

Expands Wisconsin's election bribery law to prohibit offering money or items of value to induce someone to sign or refrain from signing nomination papers, recall petitions, or political petitions related to candidates, referendums, or legislation

Raises the "anything of value" threshold from $1 to $5 for objects with utility independent of political messaging when applied to petition-signing inducements

Defines four "election periods" during which petition-related bribery prohibitions apply: December 1 through spring election, April 15 through general election, and nomination paper circulation periods for special and recall elections

Violations constitute a Class I felony, punishable by fines up to $10,000 or imprisonment up to 3 years and 6 months, or both
