It also makes the procedures set forth in Rules 809.30 to 809.32 apply to these types of cases.

Judicial Council Committee's Note, 1979: Sub. (2) is repealed and recreated to place into it for purposes of clarity the appropriate reference in Chapter 808 containing the appeal time periods for Chapter 799, traffic regulations, and municipal ordinance violations cases. No substantive change is intended. [Re Order effective Jan. 1, 1980]

Judicial Council Note, 2002: Sub. (1) is repealed to eliminate confusing cross-references to appeal procedures under Subchapter III. Appeals under former sub. (1) were and are governed by the procedures in ss. 809.30 to 809.32. [Re Order No. 02-01 effective January 1, 2003.]
