  • Legislation Introduced Package Aimed at Increasing Agricultural Opportunities
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Rep. Considine, (608) 266-7746 September 3, 2019 Rep. Spreitzer, (608) 266-1192 Rep. Vruwink, (608) 266-3790 Bipartisan “Our Farms, Our Future” Legislation Introduced Package Aimed at Increasing Agricultural Opportunities Madison – Today, a bipartisan group of legislators introduced the “Our Farms, Our Future” package. These three bills aim to strengthen opportunities for Wisconsin farmers at every stage of their careers: from beginning farmers that are launching a career in farming, to new and established farmers looking to innovate and diversify their operations, to retiring farmers who are passing on their operation to the next generation. Rep. Dave Considine (D-Baraboo) introduced a bill with Rep. Bob Kulp (R-Stratford), Rep. Deb Kolste (D- Janesville), and Sen. Patrick Testin (R-Stevens Point) related to farm succession planning. “As members of the Assembly Committee on Agriculture, we hear about the very real barriers that Wisconsin farmers face,” stated Rep. Considine. “I also know from personal experience about some of these barriers, such as farm succession planning. Since farming looks different today than it used to, passing down the family farm is no longer as simple as it once was. This bill will create two new positions in the University of Wisconsin System to help farmers create succession plans that fit their individual situations.” Rep. Mark Spreitzer (D-Beloit) introduced legislation with Rep. Tony Kurtz (R-Wonewoc), Rep. Deb Kolste (D-Janesville), and Sen. Janis Ringhand (D-Evansville) aimed at continuing our state’s proud agricultural tradition by mitigating student debt. “Recruiting and retaining beginning farmers from diverse backgrounds is essential to continuing Wisconsin’s strong tradition of family-supporting farms,” said Rep.

  • Wisconsin State Legislature Decreases License Suspension for Non Safety-Related Monetary Judgements
    For Immediate Release: February 18, 2016 Contact: Nichole Yunk Todd, 414-343-3581, [email protected] WISCONSIN STATE LEGISLATURE DECREASES LICENSE SUSPENSION FOR NON SAFETY-RELATED MONETARY JUDGEMENTS Madison, WI – Today, the Wisconsin State Assembly approved a bipartisan measure that will change the maximum length of a driver’s license suspension for failure to pay a forfeiture (“FPF”) from two years to one. The bill passed in the state senate earlier this month and is now headed to Governor Walker. According to Wisconsin Department of Transportation data, FPF suspensions represent nearly 60% of all reasons for license suspension or revocation in the state at over 235,000. The second highest category is only 12%. Two-year FPF suspensions are longer than many safety-related suspensions, including first and second offense Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), reckless driving, and the accumulation of over 31 demerit points within just one year. The courts will still collect what they are owed as defendants who have monetary judgements earn income. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue collected over $21 million dollars for the courts in 2014 through its efficient Tax Refund Intercept Program (TRIP). The authors of the bill include Senators Jerry Petrowski (R-Marathon) and Nikiya Harris Dodd (D- Milwaukee) and Representatives John Spiros (R-Marshfield) and Cory Mason (D- Racine). Senator Petrowski championed the effort: “This common sense bill will help make sure people can get to work so they can pay their debts and continue to support themselves and their families.” The bill was also endorsed by key system stakeholders as a way to better focus our limited resources, including the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association, Wisconsin Trial Judges Association, Wisconsin District Attorneys Association, Wisconsin Public Defender, and Wisconsin Insurance Alliance.
