Home 9 Tax and Budget 9 Big Week of Hearings on Tap at State Capitol

The State Legislature starts the new year with a busy week of hearings. On Tuesday, the Senate Education Committee, chaired by Senator John Lehman (D-Racine), will hold a hearing on Senate Bill 405, which changes the governance structure of Milwaukee Public Schools by making the superintendent a mayoral appointee. The hearing will be held in Milwaukee on Tuesday, January 5.

On Wednesday, January 6, the Assembly Consumer Protection Committee, chaired by Rep. Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh), will hold a hearing on AB 405, the BPA-Free Kids Act. This bill would ban the manufacture and wholesale in Wisconsin of bisphenol-A (BPA) in children’s bottles and cups. The hearing will begin at 10 AM in room 415 Northwest of the state capitol. The Wisconsin Council on Children and Families supports AB 405 and its companion bill SB 271. Please use this link to contact your legislator and ask them to support this bill.
