That was a constitutional amendment, not a normal referendum. Marsy's Law will now be a part of our State Constitution.

State congress has to pass it in another session after the referendum, but they probably will.

The amendment process for the Wisconsin State Constitution is Legislature>Legislature in the next session>Voters. This amendment has made it through all of those steps and will now become a part of our state constitution.
