Gov. Tony Evers today took action on several bills. The bills signed by the governor today include enhancing the safety of K-12 students across the state by ensuring educational professionals who get their licenses revoked or are under investigation can be more easily identified by the public, correcting gaps in current law related to the placement of sexually violent offenders under supervised release, and prohibiting businesses from knowingly and intentionally publishing and distributing material harmful to minors on the internet, among others.
Today, the governor signed 21 bills total.
Evers today also vetoed 23 bills, including GOP efforts to exempt cash tips and overtime from the state income tax and to overturn his veto that extended by four centuries the annual increases in how much school districts can spend per student.
He also nixed a GOP bill that sought to reduce state aid to counties by 15% if the sheriff failed to inquire about the immigration status of those detained in their jails for felonies. AB 24 also would’ve penalized counties if the sheriffs didn’t comply with an administrative warrant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to detain someone in their custody.
