The Ninety-Second Wisconsin Legislature convened from January 3, 1995, to January 6, 1997, in regular session, and also convened in two special sessions.[1]

This session represented the first time the Republican Party of Wisconsin held full control of state government since 1970. They used that power to make extensive changes to the organization of state government, and implemented the landmark Wisconsin Works program, which became a model for the "welfare-to-work" programs of the 1990s. This session also saw the Legislature authorizing new taxes to fund the construction of Miller Park for the Milwaukee Brewers. The stadium tax plan, however, resulted in the Republicans losing control of the state Senate in a June 1996 recall election.

Senators representing odd-numbered districts were newly elected for this session and were serving the first two years of a four-year term. Assembly members were elected to a two-year term. Assembly members and odd-numbered senators were elected in the general election of November 8, 1994. Senators representing even-numbered districts were serving the third and fourth year of a four-year term, having been elected in the general election of November 3, 1992.[1]
