The Forty-Sixth Wisconsin Legislature convened from January 14, 1903, to May 23, 1903, in regular session.[1] During this legislative term but after the end of the legislative session, in February 1904, the Wisconsin State Capitol suffered a severe fire that destroyed two wings and damaged the rotunda.[2]
This was the first legislative session after the redistricting of the Senate and Assembly according to acts of the previous session.
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 4, 1902. 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 6, 1900.[1]
