Home 9 Tax and Budget 9 State Capitol Update – Week of Jan. 25

The legislature will be in session on Tuesday and Thursday and there are many committee hearings on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Here are some highlights to watch for:

Ban on bisphenol A legislation is moving in both houses – On Tuesday, Jan 26, the Assembly Consumer Protection Committee will vote on Assembly Bill 405, which would ban the manufacture and sale of baby bottles and cups that contain bisphenol A. WCCF supports this legislation. Please use this link to encourage your state legislators to support AB 405. If you do not know who your state legislators are, the link will connect you to them.

Last week, the Senate Small Business, Emergency Preparedness, Technical Colleges, and Consumer Protection Committee voted 5-0 to recommend passage of SB 271, the companion bill to AB 405. The state Senate will vote on SB 271 on Tuesday, January 26 on the Senate floor. Please use this link to ask your State Senator to support SB 271.

There are also several other committee hearings this week in the capitol. You can follow the state Assembly and Senate when they are in session via WisconsinEye.
