Wisconsin Assembly forbids requiring virus vaccination proof
June 16, 2021 GMT
MADISON, Wis. (AP) The Wisconsin Assembly on Wednesday passed a Republican-backed bill that would prohibit businesses, colleges and universities, governments and anyone else in the state from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
The measure banning so-called vaccine passports must also pass the Senate and be signed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers before becoming law. Evers has signaled that he will veto the bill.
It is supported by a Wisconsin group that opposes mandating vaccines and the anti-abortion group Pro-Life Wisconsin. Opponents include the Wisconsin Medical Society, the Wisconsin Public Health Association and the Wisconsin Association of Local Health Departments and Boards.

A bill that would prohibit enforcement of federal gun restricts on Wisconsin gunowners cleared the Wisconsin Assembly on Wednesday. It’s part of a “Second Amendment sanctuary” wave of bills that have been passing state and local governments nationwide in the past year.
“This will not allow any state funding to be used to confiscate legally possessed firearms, and that would be from the DOJ down to the local municipalities of law enforcement,” bill author Rep. Treig Pronschinske (R-Mondovi) said in a press conference Wednesday.
