While I believe there may have been verbage like that in the budget repair bill, fortunately that wouldn't actually change the constitution.

In WI, in order to change the constitution, a bill must pass two seperate congresses, and a public vote. This means that even if this congess passed such a constitutional amendment, the folks elected in the 2012 elections would ALSO have to pass the amendment, AND the amendment would have to pass as a measure on a statewide ballot.

Now, given the ultra-gerrymandered redistricting the republicans are trying to force through,* having a (R) majority from now until doomsday (which they are hastening as much as they can) isn't something they're worried about, but who knows whether it would pass a statewide election.

*If you want something to be concerned about, this (the redistricting) is seriously it. Disgusting and shameless. And without an unpartisan state court to uphold challenges, let's hope the feds can step in on civil rights/representation grounds.
