Papers of Johnsrud, a Republican Wisconsin State Assemblyman from the 96th district
from 1984 to 2004. Most of the papers stem from his work on the Natural Resources Committee
and consist of drafts of bills and amendments, reference materials, press releases and news
clippings, and correspondence. The files particularly concern water quality, land use,
hunting and fishing regulations, and controlling health care costs. Specific legislation
documented includes mandating double hulled barges on the upper Mississippi river, limiting
non-point source pollution of rivers and streams, regulating the use of septic tanks,
restricting nude bathing at the Mazomanie beach, lowering blood-alcohol and speed limits on
snowmobiles, regulating the Petroleum Environmental Cleanup Fund Act (PECFA), protecting
wetland, managing the state's deer herd, the prohibition of deer baiting, permitting dove
hunting, increasing hunting opportunities for people with disabilities, and making the
Wisconsin Constitution gender neutral. English
