abstract	Domestic partnerships for same-sex couples have been recognized in Wisconsin as of August 3, 2009 despite same-sex marriage and "a legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals" being banned by Wisconsin statutes and a constitutional amendment in 2006. The domestic partnership plan was passed as part of the biennial state budget bill, and was approved by the Wisconsin State Assembly in a 50–48 vote on June 13, 2009 and by the Wisconsin Senate in a 17–16 vote on June 17, 2009. It was signed by governor Jim Doyle on June 29, 2009. Domestic partnerships in Wisconsin provide many rights, such as the ability to inherit a partner’s estate in the absence of a will, hospital visitation, and the ability to access family medical leave to care for a sick partner. A domestic partnership can be registered at the county level, with couples having to sign a legal declaration of their commitment. To be eligible for a domestic partnership, two individuals must be of the same sex, both be at least 18 years old, share a common residence, not be nearer of kin than second cousins, and neither party can be married or in another domestic partnership with anyone else.
