The Wisconsin Assembly passed multiple bills focused on crime and safety, including a bipartisan bill requiring schools to promptly alert parents if their students are victims of sexual misconduct. Assembly Bill 74 requires schools to inform parents within 24 hours of any sexual misconduct being reported. Another bill passed on National K9 Day increases the felony charge for anyone who kills or injures a police or fire animal, named after K9 Riggs who survived being shot in the head during a chase. This bill will now move to the State Senate for approval. Additionally, a bill was moved forward to require prosecutors to get court approval to dismiss or change charges for crimes like domestic violence or car theft. All Assembly Democrats who voted opposed this measure. The bills still need to pass through the State Senate and be signed by Gov. Tony Evers before becoming law. The Assembly continues to focus on public safety and justice reform as these bills progress through the legislative process.
