The Wisconsin State Senate approved a series of bills to protect individual rights amidst the COVID crisis on Tuesday afternoon.
If the bills become law, government officials won’t be allowed to close churches or force people to get vaccinated. The senate also passed a bill that require Evers to produce a plan on getting state employees back to work, and another bill that would allow dentists to provide vaccinations.
All those provisions were included in the Assembly’s “COVID Relief Bill,” but the Senate stripped them out so Gov. Evers would sign it into law. However, those provisions were very important to conservative voters, so Senate Republicans reintroduced them as separate bills. (Eventually they would also add them back into the COVID Relief Bill.)
