In this chapter: (1) “Domestic partner" means an individual who has signed and filed a declaration of domestic partnership in the office of the register of deeds of the county in which he or she resides. (2) “Domestic partnership" means the legal relationship that is formed between 2 individuals under this chapter.History:  2009 a. 28.Chapter 770 is constitutional based on the presumption of constitutionality, the plaintiffs' failure to meet the burden of proof, and the evidence reviewed from the drafting and ratification process. The plain language of the amendment prohibits only a status “identical or substantially similar to" marriage, and by implication it does not prohibit what is not identical or substantially similar thereto. There are important statutory distinctions in the way the state treats marriage and domestic partnerships and important differences in the lists of benefits and obligations that inhere in the two types of relationships.

Ct. Order, 67 Wis. 2d 585, 775 (1975); 1975 c. 218; 1979 c. 32 s. 53; Stats. 1979 s. 775.01.The bond requirement of s. 775.01 may be waived under s. 814.29 (1). Boldt v. State, 101 Wis. 2d 566, 305 N.W.2d 133 (1981).Legislative adjournment before action on a bill authorizing payment of a claim constitutes refusal of the claim and satisfies the condition precedent for commencing an action. Cross-claimants are also required to meet the statutory conditions precedent. This section allows actions on a debt but does not allow tort actions or actions based on equity, including actions for unjust enrichment. CleanSoils Wisconsin, Inc. v. DOT, 229 Wis. 2d 600, 599 N.W.2d 903 (Ct. App. 1999), 98-3374.A claim subject to this section must be presented to the legislature, in the form of a bill, and rejected before suit may be filed on the claim. The procedure is not optional. Brown v. State, 230 Wis. 2d 355, 602 N.W.2d 79 (Ct. App. 1999), 98-2662.A breach of contract claim seeking damages for lost profits and expenses incurred is not a claim within the meaning of this section. The relevant inquiry here is whether the breach of contract claim is an action of debt or indebitatus assumpsit. “Debt," for which an action of debt will lie, is a specific sum of money that is due or owing from one to another.
