Wisconsin Treasurer Kurt Schuller has drafted a bill that would eliminate his position and the office of the secretary of state.

The resolution would amend the state constitution to cut both offices by 2015, Schuller said Wednesday. Schuller, a Republican, promised during his campaign that he would only serve one term if elected and would work to get rid of the treasurer's office, which has little power.

If either the treasurer or secretary of state's office is eliminated, the elected officer's seat on the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands would be filled by the lieutenant governor. If both offices are cut, the superintendent of public instruction would fill the remaining seat.

Schuller said Republican Rep. Scott Krug of Wisconsin Rapids will introduce the bill in the Assembly. If the Legislature approves the measure in two consecutive sessions, voters could provide final approval through separate statewide referendums. Voters could eliminate one or both offices. Legislators would have to reapportion any duties not designated by the constitution.

Schuller's proposal also would make the attorney general third in the line of gubernatorial succession.

Republican Gov. Scott Walker has proposed all but gutting the two offices in the upcoming 2011-13 budget. Under Walker's budget, the treasurer would only retain control over unclaimed property. The secretary of state's notary public and trademark duties would be transferred to the Department of Financial Institutions.
